Abstract
We studied properties of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes expressed at different stages of Danio rerio ontogenesis. H4-LDH and a minor fraction H3M1 are expressed during embryonic development. The muscle isozyme (M4) appears after the beginning of muscle contractions in the embryo. H4 and M4 isozymes isolated from the heart and skeletal muscle of the adult fish, respectively, show significant differences in terms of Km, activation energy (AE), and inactivation temperature. H4-LDH isozymes isolated from unfertilized eggs, the skeletal muscle of larvae, and the heart of the adult fish differ in Km and activation energy, as well as in inactivation temperature. We propose that these differences may be associated with a ligand interacting with the H4 isozyme at different steps of ontogenesis.
