Iron superoxide dismutases: structure and function of an archaic enzyme.
Iron and manganese superoxide dismutases are phylogenetically closely related. They are compared by in silico analysis with regard to their metal specificity and their three-dimensional structure. Special attention is given to the structure and properties of superoxide dismutases from archaeal prokaryotes. The mechanism and the extreme thermostability of superoxide dismutase from Sulfolobus aci...
متن کاملA tetrameric iron superoxide dismutase from the eucaryote Tetrahymena pyriformis.
An iron-containing superoxide dismutase has been purified from the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis. It has a molecular weight of 85,000 and is composed of four subunits of equal size. The tetramer contains 2.5 g atoms of ferric iron. Visible absorption and electron spin resonance spectra closely resemble those of other iron-containing superoxide dismutases. The amino acid sequence of the iron ...
متن کاملSuperoxide Dismutases in Pancreatic Cancer
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing as the population ages but treatment advancements continue to lag far behind. The majority of pancreatic cancer patients have a K-ras oncogene mutation causing a shift in the redox state of the cell, favoring malignant proliferation. This mutation is believed to lead to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation and su...
متن کاملSequence homologies among bacterial and mitochondrial superoxide dismutases.
Superoxide dismutase from chicken-liver mitochondria (manganese enzyme) and the two dismutases from Escherichia coli (manganese and iron enzymes) were analyzed through 29 cycles of automated Edman degradations. The high degree of homology among the amino-terminal sequences of these three dismutases corroborates their known similarity of structural and functional properties, and serves as furthe...
متن کاملDifferential temperature sensitivity of pea superoxide dismutases.
The activity of pea (Pisum sativum L.) Cu/Zn and Mn superoxide dismutase isoforms was evaluated across a range of temperatures from 10 to 45 degrees C. Maximal activity of the Cu/Zn and Mn superoxide dismutase isoforms was observed at 10 degrees C. Both cytoplasmic and chloroplast Cu/Zn superoxide dismutases exhibit a reduction in staining intensity with increasing temperatures. Mn superoxide d...
متن کاملGastric mucosal superoxide dismutases in Helicobacter pylori infection.
BACKGROUND The mucosal pathology of Helicobacter pylori infection may in part be due to excessive production of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) by phagocytes. The influence of H pylori infection on mucosal superoxide dismutases, some major scavenger enzymes of ROM was investigated. In humans superoxidase dismutase is present in at least two forms-that is, mitochondrial manganese (Mn)-superox...
