cDNA and deduced amino acid sequence of murine Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase.
Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) is a eukaryotic cytoplasmic enzyme involved in the antioxidant defense against the toxic effects of superoxide anion-induced cellular damage (1). We have isolated cDNA clones from a murine SWR/J liver cDNA library (2) using the human cDNA clone pS61-10 as a heterologous probe (3). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of one of these clones cont...
متن کاملSequence and structural determinants of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase aggregation.
Diverse point mutations in the enzyme Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are linked to its aggregation in the familial form of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The disease-associated mutations are known to destabilize the protein, but the structural basis of the aggregation of the destabilized protein and the structure of aggregates are not well understood. Here, we investigate in sil...
متن کاملThe Cu, Zn Superoxide Dismutase: Not Only a Dismutase Enzyme
The Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is an ubiquitary cytosolic dimeric carbohydrate free molecule, belonging to a family of isoenzymes involved in the scavenger of superoxide anions. This effect certainly represents the main and well known function ascribed to this enzyme. Here we highlight new aspects of SOD1 physiology that point out some inedited effects of this enzyme in addition to the c...
متن کاملRat lung Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase. Isolation and sequence of a full-length cDNA and studies of enzyme induction.
The synthesis of Cu,Zn SOD by rat lung increases spontaneously in the fetus in late gestation and during exposure of neonatal and adult rats to greater than 95% O2. To explore the regulation of these increases, we measured rat lung Cu,Zn SOD synthesis and activity. We also cloned and sequenced a rat lung Cu,Zn SOD cDNA that was used to measure Cu,Zn SOD mRNA concentration. We found that (a) und...
متن کاملCopper chaperone for superoxide dismutase is essential to activate mammalian Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase.
Recent studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggest that the delivery of copper to Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is mediated by a cytosolic protein termed the copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS). To determine the role of CCS in mammalian copper homeostasis, we generated mice with targeted disruption of CCS alleles (CCS(-/-) mice). Although CCS(-/-) mice are viable and possess nor...
