Characterization of crystals of genetically engineered human manganese superoxide dismutase.

چکیده
The genetically engineered human manganese superoxide dismutase crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 75.51 A, b = 79.00 A, c = 67.95 A. At room temperature the crystals are not stable against radiation, so we cooled them to 90 K and collected a data set to 3 A resolution at this temperature.

Engineering and characterization of human manganese superoxide dismutase mutants with high activity and low product inhibition.
Human manganese superoxide dismutase is a mitochondrial metalloenzyme that is involved in protecting aerobic organisms against superoxide toxicity, and has been implicated in slowing tumor growth. Unfortunately, this enzyme exhibits strong product inhibition, which limits its potential biomedical applications. Previous efforts to alleviate human manganese superoxide dismutase product inhibition...
متن کاملManganese superoxide dismutase and inducible nitric oxide synthase modify early oxidative events in acute adriamycin-induced mitochondrial toxicity.
In the present study, we used genetically engineered B6C3 mice [mice overexpressing manganese superoxide dismutase (TgM(+/+)), mice in which inducible nitric oxide synthase had been inactivated (iNOSKO(-/-)), and crosses of these two genotypes] to study the role of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the development of acute Adriamycin-induced ca...
متن کاملCharacterization of crystals of tetrameric manganese superoxide dismutase from Thermus thermophilus HB8.
The tetrameric manganese superoxide dismutase from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus HB8 crystallizes in space group P41212 (or its enantiomorph) with a = b = 147.5 A, c = 55.9 A. The diffraction patterns extent to 1.4 A, and the crystals are very resistant to decay induced by x-irradiation. Measurements of the crystal density in Ficoll gradients are consistent with an asymmetric uni...
متن کاملMitochondrial superoxide dismutase in mature and developing human retinal pigment epithelium.
Human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contains two genetically distinct forms of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes that scavenge harmful superoxide anions. Biochemical and immunochemical techniques were used to compare levels of copper-zinc- and manganese-containing forms of SOD (CuZn-SOD and Mn-SOD) in human adult and fetal RPE cells. It was found that Mn-SOD activity was higher in adult tha...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a manganese-containing superoxide dismutase from yeast.
The cyanide-insensitive superoxide dismutase of yeast has been shown to be localized in the mitochondrial matrix. This enzyme has been isolated in good yield from bakers' yeast. Its molecular weight is 96,000. It is a tetramer, being composed of four subunits of equal size. Exposure to sodium dodecyl sulfate at 100 degrees caused dissociation into dimers, while similar treatment but in the pres...
