Abstract

The present work was undertaken to address the role of protein disulfide isomerase 2 (Pdi2) in the mercury-tolerance of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using the Pdi2-overexpressing recombinant plasmid pYPDI2 and the corresponding vector plasmid pRS316. When exposed to mercuric chloride, the PDI2 overepxression cells grew significantly better than the vector control cells. They revealed the lower levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), when incubated with mercuric chloride for 6 h, than the vector control cells. The PDI2 overepxression cells contained the higher levels of total glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity than the vector control cells, after 6 h of incubation in mercuric chloride. However, the PDI2 overepxression cells contained similar levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, compared to those of the vector control cells. Taken together, the S. pombe Pdi2 promotes the tolerance against mercury toxicity through up-regulating total GSH and SOD and subsequently attenuating ROS and NO elevations.

본 연구는 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 단백질2황화물이성질화효소 2 (Pdi2)가 수은 독성에 대한 저항성에 관여하는지를 입증하기 위하여, Pdi2 과잉 발현 재조합 플라즈미드 pYPDI2와 대응되는 벡터플라즈미드인 pRS316을 사용하여 수행되었다. 염화제2수은($25{\mu}M$, $50{\mu}M$, $200{\mu}M$)에 노출되었을 때, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 훨씬 더 잘 성장하였다. pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는, 6시간 동안 염화제2수은과 같이 배양하였을 때, 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 낮은 세포 내 활성산소종과 일산화질소 수준을 나타내었다. 반면, 같은 배양 조건에서, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 높은 수준의 총 글루타치온 및 수퍼옥시드 디스뮤타아제을 나타내었다. 그러나, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포와 비슷한 수준의 글루타치온과산화효소 활성을 보여 주었다. 종합하면, S. pombe Pdi2는 총 글루타치온과 수퍼옥시드 디스뮤타아제 활성을 증가시켜, 그에 따라 활성산소종과 일산화질소의 상승을 억제함으로써 수은 독성에 대한 저항성에 관여한다.
