Peroxidase activity and its isozyme composition of extensibility zone of maize root cells under xenobiotics effect

It is known, that peroxidase is sensibility enzyme to anthropogenic factors effect. Investigation of isozyme composition of plants gives possibility to understand and explain the cause of steadiness or sensibility of plants to unfavourable conditions of environmental [1, 2]. The simultaneous presence of several molecular forms of the same enzyme, that differ in kinetics and other properties, side by side with others mechanisms of regulation, conductives to co-ordination of substances exchange in cells and rapid adaptation to surroundings, that continuelly changes. The isozymes differ between itself in electrophoretical mobile, that gives possibility to analyse its in detail. In this connection, the purpose of this paper was to study  the combined influence of ions cadmium and soil herbicide metolachlor on component composition of soluble peroxidase in extensibility zone of maize roots. The objects of investigation were the two-day roots of maize shoots of three-linear average-early hybrid Biloserskyj 295 CB, that were growed  in medium with cadmium nitrate Cd(NO3)2  in concentration of
50 µM, herbicide of chlorazetanilide groupe – metolachlor (Mch) - in concentration 1 mg/l as well as its combination. The selection of root samples carried out after 48 h of treatment. Lightsoluble proteins were obtained by the water extraction from extensibility
zone of maize roots. Protein concentration in homogenates was determined by Bradford method [4]. For isoelectrical focusing (IEF) of peroxidase system was used 5% PAAG (polyacrilamide gel) containing 10% glycerine and 1.5% ampholines, pH 3,5-6,0 (“LKB”, Sweden). Isozymes of peroxidase revealed by 0.01% solution of 3,3-diamino-benzidine of hydrochloro-sour in presence of 0.001% H2O2 in Na-phosphate buffer, pH 6.2. Densitograms of isoelectrophoregram obtained by computer program “TCX-manager 2.1” (2005).

The investigation results showed, that the changes in peroxidase system under xenobiotics effect have been accompanied by qualitative and quantitative alterations in enzyme spectrum. General changes apply to quantitative redistribution between available isoenzymes of peroxidase, that depended on the type of xenobiotic (table 1).

Cytosol peroxidase was presented in control sample 28 components in pH diapason 4.05-6.70. General activity of peroxidase system falled on isoenzymes with pI 4.35 and 4.40 (18.8-21.3% from total isoperoxidases). Isoform with pI 4.00 appears under herbicide effect. The main reorganizations in peroxidase system of extensibility zone in conditions of toxical stress occurred for account quantitative adaptation strategy. Four isoenzymes with pI 4.35, 4.40, 4.70 and 5.80 are posessed the high stability under Cd effect, while in conditions of herbicide expousure it was found seven: 4.28, 4.35, 4.40, 5.00, 5.15, 5.60 and 6.25. Under cadmium action observed essential content increasing of isoform with pI 4.20, 4.25, 4.30, 4.60 and 5.15 and under metolachlor effect – with pI 4.05, 4.10, 4.20, 4.25, 4.30, 4.60 and 6.00. Essential content level lowering of isoperoxidases with pI 4.15 (at an average on 44%)  and 4.80 (on 79%) was typical for all xenobiotics. Cadmium reduced  the level content of peroxidase component with pI 6.70 (in 2.3 times as compared with control). Typical line of xenobiotic combined effect was increasing of isoenzymes content with pI 4.05 (in 10.5 times), 4.20 (in 4.1 times), 4.30 (in 9.4 times), 4.60 (in 3 times) and 5.15 (in 2.2 times) as compared with control.

In conclusion,  both cadmium and soil herbicide metolachlor have essential influence on functioning of lightsoluble peroxidase system in extensibility zone of maize roots, that  expresses in change of separate isoform activity and it is unspecific reaction on unfavourable environment.
