A model for gain of function in superoxide dismutase

Studies have found that mutant, misfolded superoxide dismutase [Cu–Zn] (SOD1) can convert wild type SOD1 (wtSOD1) in a prion-like fashion, and that misfolded wtSOD1 can be propagated by release and uptake of protein aggregates. In developing a prion-like mechanism for this propagation of SOD1 misfolding we have previously shown how enervation of the SOD1 electrostatic loop (ESL), caused by the formation of transient non-obligate SOD1 oligomers, can lead to an experimentally observed gain of interaction (GOI) that results in the formation of SOD1 amyloid-like filaments. It has also been shown that freedom of ESL motion is essential to catalytic function. This work investigates the possibility that restricting ESL mobility might not only compromise superoxide catalytic activity but also serve to promote the peroxidase activity of SOD1, thus implicating the formation of SOD1 oligomers in both protein misfolding and in protein oxidation.     

Chloroplasts and mitochondria have multiple heat tolerant isozymes of SOD and APX in leaf and inflorescence in Chenopodium album

Thermal stability of antioxidant defense enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11) was studied in chloroplasts and mitochondria of leaf and inflorescence in heat adaptive weed Chenopodium album. Leaf samples were taken in March (31 °C/14 °C) and young inflorescence (INF) was sampled at flowering in April (40 °C/21 °C). Leaf and INF chloroplast and mitochondrial fractions were subjected to elevated temperatures in vitro (5–100 °C) for 30′. SOD and APX showed activity even after boiling treatment in both chloroplast and mitochondria of leaf and INF. SOD was more heat stable than APX in both chloroplasts and mitochondria in both the tissues. Chloroplast contained more heat stable SOD and APX isozymes than mitochondria in both leaf and INF. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report showing presence of thermostable APX isozymes (100 °C for 30′) in chloroplasts and mitochondria in C. album. Heat stable isozymes of SOD and APX in chloroplasts and mitochondria in leaves and inflorescence may contribute to heat tolerance in C. album.

目的利用鼠肝匀浆经Fe^2＋ -VitC诱导产生丙二醛（MDA）为模型研究29株乳酸菌的抗氧化活性。方法建立体外模拟结肠发酵体系,分析3株具有不同抗氧化能力的乳酸菌（Lactobacillus paracasei Fn032,Laaobacillus rhamnosus GG,Lactobacillus sp．Fn001）在正常结肠和铁过载结肠模型中清除羟自由基效果及对肠球菌增殖的的影响,并检测3株菌螯合亚铁离子能力及其无细胞提取物超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性。结果体外结肠体系中羟自由基含量与肠球菌数量有显著相关性。在正常结肠环境中,3株乳酸菌清除羟自由基能力与其SOD活性一致,但与其抑制肠球菌增殖能力和螯合亚铁离子能力不一致。在高铁结肠环境中,3株乳酸菌清除羟自由基能力与它们抑制肠球菌增殖能力和螯合亚铁离子能力一致,但与SOD活性不一致。结论正常条件下乳酸菌可通过产生抗氧化酶来清除结肠自由基,铁过载条件则可增强具有铁螯和能力乳酸菌的抗氧化活性。     

Hitchhiking of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase to Peroxisomes – Evidence for a Natural Piggyback Import Mechanism in Mammals

Most newly synthesized peroxisomal proteins are imported in a receptor-mediated fashion, depending on the interaction of a peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS) with its cognate targeting receptor Pex5 or Pex7 located in the cytoplasm. Apart from this classic mechanism, heterologous protein complexes that have been proposed more than a decade ago are also to be imported into peroxisomes. However, it remains still unclear if this so-called piggyback import is of physiological relevance in mammals. Here, we show that Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), an enzyme without an endogenous PTS, is targeted to peroxisomes using its physiological interaction partner 'copper chaperone of SOD1' (CCS) as a shuttle. Both proteins have been identified as peroxisomal constituents by 2D-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry of isolated rat liver peroxisomes. Yet, while a major fraction of CCS was imported into peroxisomes in a PTS1-dependent fashion in CHO cells, overexpressed SOD1 remained in the cytoplasm. However, increasing the concentrations of both CCS and SOD1 led to an enrichment of SOD1 in peroxisomes. In contrast, CCS-mediated SOD1 import into peroxisomes was abolished by deletion of the SOD domain of CCS, which is required for heterodimer formation. SOD1/CCS co-import is the first demonstration of a physiologically relevant piggyback import into mammalian peroxisomes.
