Chlorovirus PBCV-1 encodes an active copper-zinc superoxide dismutase.
UNLABELLED Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloproteins that protect organisms from toxic reactive oxygen species by catalyzing the conversion of superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Chlorovirus PBCV-1 encodes a 187-amino-acid protein that resembles a Cu-Zn SOD with all of the conserved amino acid residues for binding copper and zinc (named cvSOD). cvSOD has an intern...
متن کاملTotal reconstitution of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase.
The total reconstitution of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase by stoichiometric addition of the metals to completely metal-free apoprotein is described. Reconstitution has been monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and absorption spectroscopy, enzymic activity, and acrylamide gel el%ctrophoresis. Under the same conditions, it has been possible to prepare highly active enzymes with c...
متن کاملHuman copper-zinc superoxide dismutase complements superoxide dismutase-deficient Escherichia coli mutants.
An Escherichia coli double mutant, sodAsodB, that is deficient in both bacterial superoxide dismutases (Mn superoxide dismutase and iron superoxide dismutase) is unable to grow on minimal medium in the presence of oxygen and exhibits increased sensitivity to paraquat and hydrogen peroxide. Expression of the evolutionarily unrelated eukaryotic CuZn superoxide dismutase in the sodAsodB E. coli mu...
متن کاملReduced fertility in female mice lacking copper-zinc superoxide dismutase.
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) is believed to play a major role in the first line of antioxidant defense by catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide anion radicals to form hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Recent studies have shown that missense mutations in this gene contribute, evidently through a gain-of-function mechanism, to about 20% of familial amyotrophic lateral scle...
متن کاملCopper-zinc superoxide dismutase from the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii.
We have isolated the cytosolic form of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) from the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii. This enzyme has a subunit mass of 18 kDa. The preparation was found to be heterogeneous by IF electrophoresis with two pI ranges: 5.14-4.0 and 1.6-1.8. The enzyme preparation had a remarkably strong stability at pH 6.0-7.0, surviving boiling for 10 min without losing more than 60...
