[Comparative-enzymological study of cholinesterases from optic ganglia of the Commander squid Berryteuthis magister individuals inhabiting different zones of the species areal].

ABSTRACT

In this review a comparative analysis is performed of enzymological characteristics of cholinesterase (ChE) from optic ganglia of individuals of the Commander squid Berryteuthis magister caught in 8 zones of its habitation areal in the northern-western Pacific aquatorium, of ChE of the Pacific squid Todarodes pacificus as well as of the "standard" acetylcholinesterase from human erythrocytes and butyrylcholinesterase from horse blood serum. By the method of the substrate-inhibitor analysis there was shown heterogeneity of ChE preparations from the B. magister individuals from different habitation zones. Kinetic parameters of the enzymatic hydrolysis of 8 ester substrates are presented as well as the data on study of inhibitory specificity with use of 20 irreversible organophosphorus inhibitors, which show identity of ChE properties in the B. magister individuals from different habitation zones. Study of the process of the ChE reversible inhibition from the Commander squid individuals under action of 57 mono- and bisonium inhibitors has revealed differences in ChE properties of squid individuals from isolates in different zones of the habitation areal, which argues in favor of the existence of intraspecies groups of the Commander squid B. magister.
