Distribution of iron-containing superoxide dismutase in vascular plants.

چکیده
Superoxide dismutases (EC 1.15.1.1) in vascular plants representing different evolutionary levels were characterized using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The three forms of the enzyme were distinguished from each other based on the following criteria: a) the Cu-Zn enzyme is sensitive to cyanide wherease the Fe and Mn enzymes are not; and b) the Cu-Zn and Fe enzymes are inhibited by H(2)O(2) whereas the Mn enzyme is H(2)O(2)-resistant. Of the 43 plant families investigated, the Fe-containing superoxide dismutase was found in three families: Gingkoaceae, Nymphaceae, and Cruciferae.

Superoxide dismutase play important roles in iron-respiratory bacteria such as Geobacteraceae as an antioxidant defense, and probably an effective enzyme of electron transfer network. Regarding the application of iron-respiratory bacteria in environmental biotechnology particularly biodegradation and bioremediation, understanding the mechanism of inhibition/induction of superoxide dismutase by ...

Superoxide dismutases are a family of metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, and thus represent a primary line of defence against oxidative stress. The iron-containing superoxide dismutases are only found in prokaryotes and plants. The iron superoxide dismutase of Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) consists of two polypeptides of...

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are involved in plant adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stresses but the upstream signalling process that modulates their expression is not clear. Expression of two iron SODs, FSD2 and FSD3, was significantly increased in Arabidopsis in response to NaCl treatment but blocked in transgenic MKK5-RNAi plant, mkk5. Using an assay system for transient expression i...
متن کاملSaturation behavior of superoxide dismutation catalyzed by the iron containing superoxide dismutase of E. coli B.
The iron containing superoxide dismutase from E. coli B is shown to catalyze superoxide dismutation by a mechanism which exhibits saturation kinetics. This behavior is quite different from that observed previously with bovine Zn/Cuand iron-containing superoxide dismutase from P. leiosnathi. Two parameters of catalysis were measured in the pH range 7.2 to 10.4: k was found to be independent of p...

Three constitutive forms of superoxide dismutase activity have been demonstrated in the cyanobacterial marine picoplankter Synechococcus sp. WH 7803 using polyacrylamide gel activity staining techniques. A protein which gave a positive non-haem iron stain on native polyacrylamide gels exhibited N-terminal similarity to both the iron superoxide dismutase and the manganese superoxide dismutase of...
