متن کاملSuperoxide radical and superoxide dismutases.
O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH.. SODs inhibit such HO. production by scavengingO2-, but Cu, ZnSODs, by virtue of a nonspecific peroxidase activity, may peroxidize spin trapping agents and thus give the appearance of catalyzing OH. production from H2O2. There is a glycosylate...
متن کاملManganese and iron superoxide dismutases are structural homologs.
The crystal structure of a tetrameric manganese superoxide dismutase from a thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB8, has been determined at 4.4-A resolution by local averaging of electron density maps calculated by isomorphous replacement. The spatial arrangement of the principal secondary structural features of iron superoxide dismutase is conserved in manganese dismutase. The structu...
متن کاملProkaryotic Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases.
The Cu,ZnSODs (Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases) comprise a class of ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyse the dismutation of the superoxide radical anion into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The dismutation reaction involves two successive encounters of the superoxide anion with a catalytic copper centre hosted by the enzyme at the dead end of a narrow protein channel. Cu,ZnSOD is found in all euka...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutases in parasitoids' venom
Background: Endoparasitoid wasps inject venom proteins at oviposition to alter host immunity. Results: The venom of Leptopilina boulardi but not of a related species contains an active extracellular SOD. Recombinant SODs inhibit the Drosophila host phenoloxidase activity. Conclusion: An extracellular SOD is secreted and active in an insect fluid. Significance: SODs may be used as immune suppres...
