Accelerated chronological aging of a mutant fission yeast deficient in both glutathione and superoxide dismutase having cu and zn as cofactors and its enhancement by sir2 deficiency.

چکیده
A mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe deficient in both superoxide dismutase with copper and zinc as cofactors and glutathione was hypersensitive to menadione, which intracellularly generates superoxide radicals, and showed short chronological lifespan with more oxidation of proteins. Disruption of the sir2 gene in the double mutant enhanced the short chronological lifespan without more enhanced protein oxidation.

The involvement of GSH in the activation of human Sod1 linked to FALS in chronologically aged yeast cells.
Mutations in Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (Sod1) have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an age-related disease. Because several studies suggest that oxidative stress plays a central role in neurodegeneration, we aimed to investigate the role of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in the activation of human A4V Sod1 during chronological aging. Transformation of wild-type ...
متن کاملRedox properties of the disulfide bond of human Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase and the effects of human glutaredoxin 1.
The intramolecular disulfide bond in hSOD1 [human SOD1 (Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase 1)] plays a key role in maintaining the protein's stability and quaternary structure. In mutant forms of SOD1 that cause familial ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), this disulfide bond is more susceptible to chemical reduction, which may lead to destabilization of the dimer and aggregation. During hSOD1 maturat...
متن کاملEnhancement of Solubility and Specific Activity of a Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase by Co-expression with a Copper Chaperone in Escherichia coli
Background: Human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (hSOD1) is an antioxidant enzyme with potential as a therapeutic agent. However, heterologous expression of hSOD1 has remained an issue due to Cu2+ insufficiency at protein active site, leading to low solubility and enzymatic activity.Objectives:The effect of co-expressed human copper chaperone (hCCS) to enhance the solubility and enzymatic act...
متن کاملHeat shock protein 70 protects motor neuronal cells expressing mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) against altered calcium homeostasis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons leading to paralysis and death. Mutations of the human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are found in some cases of familial ALS (fALS). Recent evidences suggest the accumulation of intracellular calcium is one of the primary mechanisms of motor neuronal degeneration. In th...
