Oxidative modification to cysteine sulfonic acid of Cys111 in human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase.
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) plays a protective role against oxidative stress. On the other hand, recent studies suggest that SOD1 itself is a major target of oxidative damage and has its own pathogenicity in various neurodegenerative diseases, including familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Only human and great ape SOD1s among mammals have the highly reactive free cysteine residue...
متن کاملA copper-binding site in the cytoplasmic domain of BACE1 identifies a possible link to metal homoeostasis and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease.
The amyloidogenic processing pathway of the APP (amyloid precursor protein) generates Abeta (amyloid beta-peptide), the major constituent in Alzheimer's disease senile plaques. This processing is catalysed by two unusual membrane-localized aspartic proteinases, beta-secretase [BACE1 (beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1)] and the gamma-secretase complex. There is a clear link between APP processing ...
متن کاملNew Type 2 Copper-Cysteinate Proteins. Copper Site Histidine-to-Cysteine Mutants of Yeast Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase.
Preparation and characterization of two new site-directed mutant copper-zinc superoxide dismutase proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, i.e., His46Cys (H46C) and His120Cys (H120C), in which individual histidyl ligands in the copper-binding site were replaced by cysteine, are reported here. These two mutant CuZnSOD proteins may be described as type 2 (or normal) rather than type 1 (or blue) co...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase from horse liver.
The complete amino acid sequence of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase from horse liver is reported. The molecule consists of 153 amino acids and has a Mr = 16,000. The primary structure was determined by automated and manual sequence analysis on fragments produced by cleavage of the S-carboxymethylated protein with cyanogen bromide and on peptides obtained by digestion with trypsin, thermolysin,...
متن کاملRedox-activated expression of the cytosolic copper/zinc superoxide dismutase gene in Nicotiana.
Superoxide dismutases (SODs; superoxide: superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) play a key role in protection against oxygen radicals, and SOD gene expression is highly induced during environmental stress. To determine the conditions of SOD induction, the promoter of the cytosolic copper/zinc SOD (Cu/ZnSODcyt) gene was isolated in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and fused to the beta-glucuronidase r...
