Abstract
농어목(Perciformes) 검정우럭과(Centrachidae) 파랑볼우럭(Lepomis macrochirus)을 대상으로 환경온도에 대한 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, Lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) 동위효소들의 대사조절을 연구하였다. 파랑볼우럭은 4월(그룹Ⅰ), 5월(그룹Ⅱ) 및 9월(그룹Ⅲ)에 채집하여 사용하였다. 파랑볼우럭 골격근, 심장 및 뇌 조직의 LDH 활성은 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅰ 및 Ⅱ보다 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅲ의 LDH 활성이 더 높게 나타났다. 시트르산합성효소(EC 4.1.3.7, citrate synthase, CS)의 활성은 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅰ에 비해 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅱ의 골격근 조직에서 높았고 심장 및 뇌 조직에서는 낮았다. 그에 반하여 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅲ 골격근의 CS 활성은 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅱ에 비해 낮았고 심장 및 뇌 조직에서는 높았다. LDH/CS는 그룹Ⅲ의 골격근 및 뇌 조직에서 높게 나타났다. 따라서 혐기적 대사는 파랑볼우럭 그룹Ⅲ에서 증가되었다. 골격근, 심장, 간 및 뇌 조직에서는 LDH A<sub>4</sub>, A<sub>2</sub>B<sub>2</sub> 및 B<sub>4</sub> 동위효소가 나타났다. LDH C hybrid는 뇌조직에서 확인되었다. LDH A<sub>4</sub> 동위효소는 affinity chromatography로 정제되었다. 정제된 LDH A<sub>4</sub> 동위효소의 분자량은 136 kDa이고 최적 pH는 8.0이었다. 골격근 LDH의 K<sub>m</sub><sup>PYR</sup>값은 0.161-0.227 mM로 나타났다. 골격근 LDH의 역학특성들은 파랑볼우럭이 저온에 잘 적응한 종이라는 것을 보여준다. 이 결과들은 파랑볼우럭의 서식지 예측에 유용할 것으로 예상된다. The aim of this study was to examine the metabolic adjustment of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) isozymes to the environmental temperature in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus). This study included three groups of bluegill collected in April (group Ⅰ), May (group Ⅱ), and September (group Ⅲ). The LDH activities of skeletal muscle, heart, and brain tissues were higher in group Ⅲ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7, CS) activity was higher in skeletal muscle but lower in heart and brain tissues of group Ⅱ as compared to group Ⅰ. In contrast, the CS activity was lower in skeletal muscle and higher in heart and brain tissues in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ. Furthermore, the LDH/CS activity ratio was higher in the skeletal muscle and brain in group Ⅲ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ. Accordingly, anaerobic metabolism was increased in group Ⅲ. LDH A<sub>4</sub>, A<sub>2</sub>B<sub>2</sub>, and B<sub>4</sub> isozymes were expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and brain tissues. The LDH C hybrid was detected in brain tissue. The LDH A<sub>4</sub> isozyme was successfully purified by affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified LDH A<sub>4</sub> isozyme was 136 kDa and its optimal pH for enzymatic activity was 8.0. The K<sub>m</sub><sup>PYR</sup> values of LDH in skeletal muscle were 0.161-0.227 mM using pyruvate as a substrate. These kinetic properties of LDH in skeletal muscle are consistent with the fact that bluegill is a cold-adapted species. These results may be useful for predicting the habitat use of this fish.
