Copper 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...
متن کاملA copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase that confers three types of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase activity in Arabidopsis.
The copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS) has been identified as a key factor integrating copper into copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and mammals. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), only one putative CCS gene (AtCCS, At1g12520) has been identified. The predicted AtCCS polypeptide contains three distinct domains: a central domain, flan...
متن کاملSerum copper and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase in rheumatoid arthritis.
Serum copper and thiol levels an caeruloplasmin activity were determined and compared with measurements of articular index, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and zinc and haemoglobin levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Superoxide dismutase activity, thiol, zinc, and copper levels of haemolysate were measured and compared with each other and to the above parameters. In serum, caeruloplas...
متن کاملHeterodimer formation between superoxide dismutase and its copper chaperone.
Copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is activated in vivo by the copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS). The molecular mechanisms by which CCS recognizes and docks with SOD1 for metal ion insertion are not well understood. Two models for the oligomerization state during copper transfer have been proposed: a heterodimer comprising one monomer of CCS and one monomer of SOD1 and a dim...
متن کاملDeficiency of the copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase increases amyloid-β production.
The copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS) binds to both the β-site AβPP cleaving enzyme (BACE1) and to the neuronal adaptor protein X11α. BACE1 initiates AβPP processing to produce the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide deposited in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. X11α also interacts directly with AβPP to inhibit Aβ production. However, whether CCS affects AβPP processing and Aβ produ...
