چکیده

The magnetic circular dichroism of the d-d transitions of Co(I1) when substituted for Zn(I1) in the Zn(II)-Cu(I1) enzyme bovine superoxide dismutase enzyme is reported. Magnetic circular dkhroism of the Co(I1) chromophore in the Co(II)-Cu(I1) enzyme is typical of tetrahedral Co(I1) compounds. The magnetic circular dichroism band pattern is almost identical with the magnetic circular dichroism of the anion complexes of Co(I1) carbonic anhydrase, implying similar coordination geometries in the two enzyme Co(I1) complexes. The Cu(I1) chromophore is only weakly induced by the magnetic field, with induced ellipticity an order of magnitude less than that of the Co(I1) chromophore. Reduction of the Co(II)-Cu(I1) protein causes minor, but significant, changes in the Co(I1) site as measured by magnetic circular dichroism.

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...

Different immunoreactivity against monoclonal antibodies between wild-type and mutant copper/zinc superoxide dismutase linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Although more than 100 mutations have been identified in the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), the mechanism responsible for FALS remains unclear. The finding of the present study shows that FALS-causing mutant Cu/Zn-SOD proteins (FALS mutant SODs), but not wild-type SOD, are barely detected by three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in We...

Amino 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,...

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of cobalt-copper bovine superoxide dismutase.

1. EPR spectra of cobalt-copper bovine superoxide dismutase at liquid nitrogen and liquid helium temperature show that the two metal centers are magnetically coupled. The temperature dependence of the spectra indicates that this coupling arises from an exchange interaction. 2. The EPR spectrum of the Co(I1) of the enzyme can only be seen after reduction of the Cu(II), at very low temperature. I...

Roles 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...
