Total 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 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 کاملRoles of zinc and copper in modulating the oxidative refolding of bovine copper, zinc superoxide dismutase.
The structural integrity of the ubiquitous enzyme copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) depends critically on the correct coordination of zinc and copper. We investigate here the roles of the stoichiometric zinc and copper ions in modulating the oxidative refolding of reduced, denatured bovine erythrocyte SOD1 at physiological pH and room temperature. Fluorescence experiment results showed t...
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...
متن کاملCopper-zinc superoxide dismutase: theoretical insights into the catalytic mechanism.
The mechanism for the toxic superoxide radical disproportionation to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide by copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) has been studied using the B3LYP hybrid density functional. On the basis of the X-ray structure of the enzyme, the molecular system investigated includes the first-shell protein ligands of the two metal centers as well as the second-shell liga...
