This study investigates the effects of X-radiation on ATPase activity and antioxidant enzyme activity, particularly enzymes involved in proline biosynthesis, in yeast C. guilliermondii NP-4. Moreover, the study examined the post-irradiation repair processes in these cells. Results showed that X-irradiation at a dose of 300 Gy led to an increase in catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, as well as, an increase in the CAT/SOD ratio in C. guilliermondii NP-4. The repair of radiation-induced damage requires a substantial amount of energy, resulting in an increased demand for ATP in the irradiated and repaired yeasts. Consequently, the total and FoF1-ATPase activity in yeast homogenates and mitochondria increased after X-irradiation and post-irradiation repair. It was showed an increase in the activity of proline biosynthesis enzymes (ornithine transaminase and proline-5-carboxylate reductase) in X-irradiated C. guilliermondii NP-4, which remained elevated even after post-irradiation repair. As a result, the proline levels in X-irradiated and repaired yeasts were higher than those in non-irradiated cells. These findings suggest that proline may have a radioprotective effect on X-irradiated C. guilliermondii NP-4 yeasts. Taken together this study provides insights into the effects of X-radiation on ATPase activity, antioxidant enzyme activity, and proline biosynthesis in C. guilliermondii NP-4 yeast cells, highlighting the potential radioprotective properties of proline in X-irradiated yeasts.
