The final step in ethylene biosynthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase. ACC oxidase was extracted from mung bean hypocotyls and its biochemical characteristics were determined. In vitro ACC oxidase activity required ascorbate and $Fe^{2+}$, and was enhanced by sodium bicarbonate. Maximum specific activity (approximately 20 nl ethylene $h^{-1}$ mg $protein^{-1}$) was obtained in an assay medium containing 100 mM MOPS (pH 7.5), $25\;{\mu}M$ $FeSO_4$, 6 mM sodium ascorbate, 1 mM ACC, 5 mM sodium bicarbonate and 10% glycerol. The apparent $K_m$ for ACC was $80{\pm}3\;{\mu}M$. Pretreating mung bean hypocotyls with ethylene increased in vitro ACC oxidase activity twofold. ACC oxidase activity was strongly inhibited by metal ions such as $Co^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$, and by salicylic acid. Inactivation of ACC oxidase by salicylic acid could be overcome by increasing the $Fe^{2+}$ concentration of the assay medium. The possible mode of inhibition of ACC oxidase activity by salicylic acid is discussed.

To evaluate an effect of liver xanthine oxidase on the induction of liver damage, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was intraperitoneally injected twice at 0.1ml/100g body weight to the rate fed a low (LP)or high protein diet(HP) while the control group fed LP or HP received only olive oil. The changing rate of liver xanthine oxidas activity was compared with that of a free radical generating enzyme, liver aniline hydroxylase and a scavenging enzyme, glutathions S-transferase activity between the rate fed a LP and those fed HP, and the two groups treated with CCl4. Concomitantly, the degree of liver damage which could be considered as the paramete for CCl4 metabolism in case of CCl4-intoxicated animal was observed in the present experimental conditions and the effect of allopurinol, xanthine oxidase inhibitor, on the CCl4-toxicity of rate liver was alos demostrated. On the other hand, the comparative effect of actinomycin D on the liver and serum xanthine oxidase of CCl4-treated rats fed HP with that of those fed LP and the kinetics of purifed liver enzyme from the liver of CCl4-treated rats fed HP was also compared with that of those fed LP to clarify the differences of xanthine oxidase activity between two groups. The increasing rate of liver weigth/body wt, serum levels of ALT and the decreasing rate of hepatic ALT activity and protein contents to each control group were higher in CCl4-treated rats fed HP than those fed LP. Under the animal models as indentified by the present data herein, the liver xanthine oxidase activity was higher in CCl4-treated rats fed HP than those fed LP, and the control group fed HP also showed the much higher activity xanthine oxidase than that fed LP, whereas there were no differences in the activity of hepatic aniline hydroxylase and glutathions S-transferase between the two group treated with CCl4. Although the hepatic aniline hydroxylase activity was somewhat higher in the rats fed HP than those fed LP, the increasing rate of liver xanthine oxidase to the rats fed LP was higher in those fed HP than that of liver aniline hydroxylase. The degree of liver damage identified such as liver weight and serum ALT activity was less in the CCl4-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol. These results suggest that even a system at which xanthine oxidase acts as well as the drug metabolizing enzyme may influence the acelatin of CCl4 metabolism. In addition, the purified liver xanthine oxidase from CCl4-treated rats fed HP showed decreased Km value when compared to its control group. The Km value of liver xanthine oxidase of CCl4-treated rats fed LP showed a similar Km value with its control group. Furthermore, the decreasing rate of liver and serum xanthine oxidase acitivity in CCl4-treated rats pretreated with actinomycin D to the CCl4-treated rats was higher in rats fed HP than in those fed LP. These results suggest that the inductino of xanthine oxidase in CCl4-treated rats fed HP may be greater than in those fed LP.

시중에서 흔하게 구할 수 있고 즐겨 마시는 차로 이용이 되고 있는 감잎을 시료로 택하여 메탄올로 추출한 후 헥산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올, 물 등으로 각각 분획하여 xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해 효과를 살펴보았다. 메탄올 추출물에서는 시료 2.0mg/ml 첨가 시 78%의 높은 저해효과를 나타내었으며 농도가 증가할수록 저해효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 메탄올 추출물을 농도별로 첨가하여 반응시간에 따른 저해효과를 살펴본 결과 반응시간 1분에 가장 급속한 저해효과를 나타내었으며 시간이 증가할수록 효소 저해율의 증가는 완만하였다. 한편 각 용매별 획분에서도 마찬가지로 농도가 증가할수록 xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해효과가 증가하였으며 특히 에틸아세테이트 획분에서는 2.0mg/ml 첨가시 87%의 높은 저해율을 나타내어 xanthine oxidase에 대해 저해 효과가 가장 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 각 용매별 획분에 대하여 반응 시간별로 잔존하는 xanthine oxidase의 활성도는 에틸아세테이트 획분과 헥산 획분에서 가장 낮은 반면 물 획분에서 가장 높았으며, 각 획분 모두 반응시간 1분 안에 xanthine oxidase의 활성도가 급격히 감소되었고 그 이후 시간이 경과함에 따라서는 다소 완만한 감소를 나타내었다.

The effects of metallothionein and cadmium ion on the hepatic aldehyde oxidase activity and brain lipid peroxidation were tested in vitro. The content of brain lipid peroxide at the condition of normal or $300{\mu}M$ Fe(II)-induced was remarkably reduced by the addition of metallothionein in the incubation mixture. The induced content of lipid peroxide by cadmium $(30{\mu}g/ml)$ ion was reduced by metallothionein $(100{\mu}g/ml)$. The activity of aldehyde oxidase was not affected by metallothionein, but cadmium ion $(8.38{\mu}g/ml)$ increased the activity of aldehyde oxidase about 80% compared to the control. The cadmium-induced activity of aldehyde oxidase was restored to the control level by metallothionein or penicillamine.

The effect of ceruloplasmin or copper ion on hepatic xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion was investigated using rat liver in vitro. It was observed that ceruloplasmin increased xanthine oxidase type conversion depending on duration of its storage. Xanthine oxidase (type O) activity and type conversion in incubation mixture was increased by the addition of heated celuroplasmin in a temperature dependent manner. The type conversioin of xanthine oxidase induced by heated ceruloplasmin was retumed to normal by the tratment with DTT or penicillamine. The effect of copper ion on type conversion of xanthine oxidase was similar to that of heated ceruloplasmin.

The role of vascular NAD(P)H oxidase in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced vasospasm in the basilar artery was examined in a rat model. Arterial vasospasm characterized by increased wall thickness and decreased lumen size was observed at 5 to 7 days after $2^{nd}$ injection of blood into cisterna magna, and these changes were significantly ameliorated by pretreatment of diphenyleneiodonium $(DPI,\;25\;{\mu}l\;of\;100\;{\mu}M),$ an inhibitor of NAD(P)H oxidase. To determine the time course of changes in the vascular NAD(P)H oxidase activity, cerebral vasculature was isolated at different time intervals from 12 hrs to 14 days after injection of autologous blood. At 24 hrs after the second injection of blood, the NAD(P)H oxidase activity was markedly increased with an enhanced membrane translocation of p47phox, but by 48 hours both the enzyme activity and p47phox translocation regained normal values, and were remained unchanged up to 14 days after SAH. However, no significant changes in the expression of p22phox mRNA was observed throughout the experiments. These findings suggest that the activation of NAD(P)H oxidase by which assembly of the oxidase components enhanced and subsequent production of superoxide in the early stages of SAH might contribute to the delayed cerebral vasospasm in SAH rats.

Glycosylated polyphenol oxidase was purified from potato tuber using ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100, and concanavalin A Sepharose column chromatography. Two or three types of polyphenol oxidase were separated on concanavalin A Sepharose. Type I and II polyphenol oxidases did not bind to concanavalin A Sepharose. Type I seemed to be an aggregated form of polyphenol oxidase. Type III polyphenol oxidase, which is presumed to be glycosylated because it was bound to concanavalin A Sepharose and eluted with $\alpha$-D-methyl glucopyranoside, was further purified by chromatography on Econo-Pac Q and Superose 12. Glycosylated polyphenol oxidase was purified 130-fold from the dissolved ammonium sulfate pellet resulting in about $6\;{\mu}g$ of the enzyme from 100 g of potato tuber periderm. The molecular weight of the glycosylated enzyme determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was about 64,000. Optimum temperature and pH of both II and type III potato polyphenol oxidases were $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. Glycosylated form of polyphenol oxidase (type III) preferred catechol to catechin as a substrate, whereas type II enzyme showed the reverse substrate preference.

Copper intoxication and disturbance of copper metabolism induced various oxygen-derived free radicals related damages. The effect of copper ion on xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion of the enzyme which is concerned to generation of reactive oxygen species, was investigated, It was observed that xanthine oxidase activity was increased by addition of copper ion in the reaction mixture in proportional to the concentration of the metal ion until $60\;{\mu}M$, while the enzyme activity was inhibited in higher concentration of copper treatment. On the other hand, xanthine dehydrogenase activity was inhibited by copper ion addition with concentration dependently. Preincubation of enzyme source with $30\;{\mu}M$ of copper ion, which concentration marked increased the xanthine oxidase activity, unchanged the enzyme activity and type conversion compare to control in vitro system. It was also observed that copper induced xanthine oxidase activity and the enzyme type conversion was protected by dithiothreitol and penicillamine. These results indicate that the increment of the type conversion of xanthine oxidase necessarilly need the presence of copper ion in enzyme assay system.
