Human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) and extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) are two superoxide dismutases that scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). Their biological role of eliminating oxidative stress caused by excessive ROS levels in living organisms has been utilized in medical treatment, preventing skin photoaging and food preservation. In this study, we employed two sequences that encode human CuZn-SOD and EC-SOD, along with goat beta-casein 5′ and 3′ regulatory elements, to construct mammary gland-specific expression vectors. Bitransgenic goats were generated using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), which employed co-transfection to generate bitransgenic goat fetal fibroblast cells as donor cells, and the expression of human CuZn-SOD and EC-SOD and their biological activities were assayed in the milk. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed that the cloned goat harbors both hCuZn-SOD and hEC-SOD transgenes. rhCuZn-SOD and rhEC-SOD were expressed in the mammary glands of bitransgenic goat, as determined by western blotting. The expression levels were 100.14?±?5.09 mg/L for rhCuZn-SOD and 279.10?±?5.38 mg/L for rhEC-SOD, as determined using ELISA. A total superoxide dismutase assay with WST-8 indicates that the biological activity of rhCuZn-SOD and rhEC-SOD in goat milk is 1451?±?136 U/mL. The results indicate that two expression vectors can simultaneously transfect goat fetal fibroblast cells as donor cells to produce transgenic goats by SCNT, and the CuZn-SOD and EC-SOD proteins secreted in the mammary glands showed biological activity. The present study thus describes an initial step in the production of recombinant human SODs that may potentially be used for therapeutic purposes. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are involved in the protection of cells from oxygen toxicity. However, several papers have reported that the overexpression of CuZn-SOD causes oxidative damage to cells. We investigated a mechanism by which an excess of SODs accelerates oxidative stress. The presence of CuZn-SOD, Mn-SOD or Mn(II) enhanced the frequency of DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Cu(II), and altered the site specificity of the latter: H2O2 induced Cu(II)-dependent DNA damage with high frequency at the 5'-guanine of poly G sequences; when SODs were added, the frequency of cleavages at thymine and cytosine residues increased. SODs also enhanced the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine by H2O2 and Cu(II). We conclude that SODs may increase carcinogenic risks, e.g. of tumors in Down syndrome. 相似文献

The biochemical and immunochemical characterization of a superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) from peroxisomal origin has been carried out. The enzyme is a Cu,Zn-containing SOD (CuZn-SOD) located in the matrix of peroxisomes from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons (L.M. Sandalio and L.A. del Río [1988] Plant Physiol 88: 1215-1218). The amino acid composition of the enzyme was determined. Analysis by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of the peroxisomal CuZn-SOD incubated with 6 M guanidine-HCl indicated that this enzyme contained a noncovalently bound chromophore group that was responsible for the absorbance peak of the native enzyme at 260 nm. The amino acid sequence of the peroxisomal CuZn-SOD was determined by Edman degradation. Comparison of its sequence with those reported for other plant SODs revealed homologies of about 70% with cytosolic CuZn-SODs and of 90% with chloroplastic CuZn-SODs. The peroxisomal SOD has a high thermal stability and resistance to inactivation by hydrogen peroxide. A polyclonal antibody was raised against peroxisomal CuZn-SOD, and by western blotting the antibody cross-reacted with plant CuZn-SODs but did not recognize either plant Mn-SOD or bacterial Fe-SOD. The antiSOD-immunoglobulin G showed a weak cross-reaction with bovine erythrocytes and liver CuZn-SODs, and also with cell-free extracts from trout liver. The possible function of this CuZn-SOD in the oxidative metabolism of peroxisomes is discussed. 相似文献

Inhibition of oxidative stress has been reported to be involved in the cardioprotective effects of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). However, the mechanism whereby H(2)S regulates the level of cardiac reactive oxygen species (ROS) during I/R remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of H(2)S on pathways that generate and scavenge ROS. Our results show that pretreating rat neonatal cardiomyocytes with NaHS, a H(2)S donor, reduced the levels of ROS during the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) condition. We found that H(2)S inhibited mitochondrial complex IV activity and increased the activities of superoxide dismutases (SODs), including Mn-SOD and CuZn-SOD. Further studies indicated that H(2)S up-regulated the expression of Mn-SOD but not CuZn-SOD. Using a cell-free system, we showed that H(2)S activates CuZn-SOD. An isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) analysis indicated that H(2)S directly interacts with CuZn-SOD. Taken together, H(2)S inhibits mitochondrial complex IV and activates SOD to decrease the levels of ROS in cardiomyocytes during I/R. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutases of chestnut leaves, Castanea sativa: Characterization and study of their involvement in natural leaf senescence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Superoxide dismutases (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) in chestnut ( Castanea sativa Mill., cv. 431) leaves were characterized by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The three molecular forms of SOD were distinguished from each other by their different sensitivity to cyanide and H2 O2 Three CuZn-containing SODs were detected (CuZn-SOD I, II. and III), and all the isozymes had a molecular mass of 33 kDa. CuZn-SOD III was the most abundant isozyme. whereas CuZn-SOD II was present in a minor amount. In leaves showing typical symptoms of senescence increases of 2.5-. 7- and 4-fold in the specific activities of CuZn-SODs I, II, and III. respectively, were found. In addition, the pattern of the three isozymes was modified by the age of leaves, a rise in the CuZn-SOD II and a decrease in the CuZn-SOD 1 percentages being found in senescent leaves compared to green leaves. As to other activated oxygen-related enzymes, an increase in the superoxide-generating xanthine oxidase activity and a decline in both catalase and peroxidase activities during natural senescence of chestnut leaves were observed. Results obtained suggest that in natural senescence of chestnut leaves activated oxygen species are involved, and an overproduction of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radicals probably takes place. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes that represent one important line of defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this paper, two novel SOD genes, MdSOD1 and MdSOD2, which putatively encode 261 and 214 amino acid residues respectively were identified and characterized from the housefly Musca domestica. The high similarity of MdSOD1 and MdSOD2 with SODs from other organisms indicated that they should be two new members of the SOD family. qPCR exhibited a universal expression of MdSOD1 and MdSOD2 detected in various tissues of housefly larva, including the fat body, gut, hemocyte and epidermis. Expression profiling reveals that MdSOD1 and MdSOD2 can be induced significantly via not only heat shock and cadmium (Cd) stress but also Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus challenge. The two genes were cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a to obtain the fusion proteins rMdSOD1 and rMdSOD2. Between them, the activity of rMdSOD2 was found by visual assay methods. ESI-LC-MS/MS analysis showed that three peptide fragments of the protein rMdSOD2 were identical to the corresponding sequence of M. domestica MdSOD2. MdSOD1 and MdSOD2 in housefly larvae were abrogated by feeding bacteria expressing dsRNA. High mortalities were observed in the larvae treated with dsRNA of SODs at heat shock, Cd stress and bacterial invasion. This phenomenon indicated that MdSOD1 and MdSOD2 are related to the survival of M. domestica under stress. This may provide new insights into the role of the two SOD genes in protecting M. domestica against both stress and bacterial invasion. 相似文献

A current hypothesis explaining the toxicity of superoxide anion in vivo is that it oxidizes exposed [4Fe-4S] clusters in certain vulnerable enzymes causing release of iron and enzyme inactivation. The resulting increased levels of "free iron" catalyze deleterious oxidative reactions in the cell. In this study, we used low temperature Fe(III) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to monitor iron status in whole cells of the unicellular eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The experimental protocol involved treatment of the cells with desferrioxamine, a cell-permeant, Fe(III)-specific chelator, to promote oxidation of all of the "free iron" to the Fe(III) state wherein it is EPR-detectable. Using this method, a small amount of EPR-detectable iron was detected in the wild-type strain, whereas significantly elevated levels were found in strains lacking CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) (sod1 delta), Mn-SOD (sod2 delta), or both SODs, throughout their growth but particularly in stationary phase. The accumulation was suppressed by expression of wild-type human CuZn-SOD (in the sod1 delta mutant), by pmr1, a genetic suppressor of the sod delta mutant phenotype (in the sod1 delta sod2 delta double knockout strain), and by anaerobic growth. In wild-type cells, an increase in the EPR-detectable iron pool could be induced by treatment with paraquat, a redox-cycling drug that generates superoxide. Cells that were not pretreated with desferrioxamine had Fe(III) EPR signals that were equally as strong as those from treated cells, indicating that "free iron" accumulated in the ferric form in our strains in vivo. Our results indicate a relationship between superoxide stress and iron handling and support the above hypothesis for superoxide-related oxidative damage. 相似文献

Recent evidence has indicated that activated oxygen species (AOS) may function as molecular signals in the induction of defence genes. In the present work, the response of antioxidative enzymes to the plum pox virus (PPV) was examined in two apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars, which behaved differently against PPV infection. In the inoculated resistant cultivar (Goldrich), a decrease in catalase (CAT) as well as an increase in total superoxide dismutase (SOD) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) activities were observed. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) did not change significantly in relation to non-inoculated (control) plants. In the susceptible cultivar (Real Fino), inoculation with PPV brought about a decrease in CAT, SOD and GR, whereas a rise in APX, MDHAR and DHAR activities was found in comparison to non-inoculated (control) plants. Apricot leaves contain only CuZn-SOD isozymes, which responded differently to PPV depending on the cultivar. Goldrich leaves contained 6 SODs and both SOD 1 and SOD 2 increased in the inoculated plants. In leaves from Real Fino, 5 SODs were detected and only SOD 5 was increased in inoculated plants. The different behaviour of SODs (H2O2-generating enzymes) and APX (an H2O2-remover enzyme) in both cultivars suggests an important role for H2O2 in the response to PPV of the resistant cultivar, in which no change in APX activity was observed. This result also points to further studies in order to determine if an alternative H2O2-scavenging mechanism takes place in the resistant apricot cultivar exposed to PPV. On the other hand, the ability of the inoculated resistant cultivar to induce SOD 1 and SOD 2 as well as the important increase of DHAR seems to suggest a relationship between these activities and resistance to PPV. This is the first report about the effect of PPV infection on the antioxidative enzymes of apricot plants. It opens the way for the further studies, which are necessary for a better understanding of the role of antioxidative processes in viral infection by PPV in apricot plants. 相似文献

A differential analysis of CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD. EC 1.15.1.1) isozymes after native-polyacry lamide gel elecrrophoresis (PAGE) and isoelectric focusing (IEF) indicated that germinating seeds of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) 3 days after the start of imbibition (3 DAI) contain five CuZn-SOD isozymes. Two isozymes co-migrated on native–PAGE but were separated after IEF. CuZn-SODs of Scots pine were purified from germinating seeds (3 DAI) by anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and chromatofocusing. The final separation of CuZn-SOD isozymes was accomplished by native-PAGE. CuZn-SOD isozymes were electroblotted and their NH2 -terminal amino acid sequence was determined. Comparisons of the amino acid sequences with sequences of CuZn-SOD isozymes from other plant sources indicated that one CuZn-SOD isozyme was of the chloroplastic type whereas the other four isozymes belonged to the cytosolic-type CuZn-SODs, The NH2 -terminal amino acid sequence of the chloroplastic CuZn-SOD and of one cytosolic-type CuZn-SOD were identical to those of two previously isolated, sequenced and localized CuZn-SOD isozymes from Scots pine needles. Two cytosolic-type CuZn-SOD isozymes showed a homology at 20 out of 21 NH2 -terminal amino acids. Mitochondria and glyoxysomes were isolated by differential and Percoll density-gradient centrifugation from germinating seeds (3 DAI). The cell fractionation experiments did not suggest that a major part of the CuZn-SOD activity in germinating seeds was derived from glyoxysomes or mitochondria. 相似文献

Genetic analysis of superoxide dismutase, the 23 kilodalton antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 总被引:28,自引:1,他引:27
The gene encoding a 23 kilodalton protein antigen has been cloned from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by screening of a recombinant DNA library with monoclonal antibodies. The product of the gene has been identified as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) of M. tuberculosis on the basis of sequence comparison and by expression of the recombinant protein in a functionally active form. The derived amino acid sequence of M. tuberculosis SOD reveals a close similarity to manganese-containing SODs from other organisms, in spite of the fact that previous studies using the purified enzyme have identified iron as the preferred metal ion ligand. SOD is present in the extracellular fluid of logarithmic-phase cultures of M. tuberculosis, but the structural gene is not preceded by a signal peptide sequence. Insertion of the M. tuberculosis SOD gene into a novel shuttle vector demonstrated the mycobacteria but is ineffective in Escherichia coli. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) promote a conversion of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) to relatively moderate forms, resulting in the extension of lifespan in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans under caloric restriction. The lifespan of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis is also markedly extended by caloric restriction. We, therefore, cloned cDNA encoding SOD activated with Mn (Mn SOD) from B. plicatilis and examined its expression pattern in rotifers raised with energy restricted diet. The full length deduced amino acid sequence of the rotifer Mn SOD showed 61% identity with the C. elegans ortholog. Four amino acid residues that are essential to the binding of this enzyme to Mn were conserved in the rotifer Mn SOD. Subsequently we examined the mRNA expression patterns of Mn SOD using highly sensitive quantitative real-time PCR for various rotifer populations that are likely to differ in their lifespans in experiments on calorie restricted diets. The accumulated mRNA levels of Mn SOD were found to increase in supposedly long-lived rotifers. These results suggest that Mn SOD is possibly related to the aging of B. plicatilis. 相似文献

Oxidative damage is a major cause of lung injury during systemic inflammatory response syndrome. In this study, the expression of an antioxidant enzyme, extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), and its protective role against pulmonary oxidative damage were investigated using mouse models of systemic inflammation. Intraperitoneal injection with bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharides (LPS; 20 mg/kg) caused oxidative damage in lungs as assessed by increased tyrosine nitration in proteins. LPS administration also resulted in a rapid and significant loss of more than 80% of pulmonary EC-SOD in a time- and dose-dependent manner, but other types of SODs, cytoplasmic CuZn-SOD and mitochondrial Mn-SOD, were not affected. EC-SOD protein is most abundant in lungs but also present at high levels in other tissues such as heart and white fat; however, the LPS-mediated decrease in this enzyme was most apparent in the lungs. Intravenous injection of mice with tumor necrosis factor alpha (10 microg per mouse) also caused a 60% decrease in EC-SOD in the lungs, suggesting that the EC-SOD down-regulation is mediated by this LPS-inducible inflammatory cytokine. A protective role for EC-SOD against LPS-mediated systemic inflammation was shown by an increased survival rate (75% vs 29% in 5 days) and decreased pulmonary oxidative damage in EC-SOD transgenic mice that overexpress the human EC-SOD gene. These results demonstrate that the inflammation-mediated EC-SOD down-regulation has a major pathophysiological impact during the systemic inflammatory response syndrome. 相似文献

In living organisms, exposure to oxygen provokes oxidative stress. A widespread mechanism for protection against oxidative stress is provided by the antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutases (SODs) and hydroperoxidases. Generally, these enzymes are not present in Lactobacillus spp. In this study, we examined the potential advantages of providing a heterologous SOD to some of the intestinal lactobacilli. Thus, the gene encoding the manganese-containing SOD (sodA) was cloned from Streptococcus thermophilus AO54 and expressed in four intestinal lactobacilli. A 1.2-kb PCR product containing the sodA gene was cloned into the shuttle vector pTRK563, to yield pSodA, which was functionally expressed and complemented an Escherichia coli strain deficient in Mn and FeSODs. The plasmid, pSodA, was subsequently introduced and expressed in Lactobacillus gasseri NCK334, Lactobacillus johnsonii NCK89, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCK56, and Lactobacillus reuteri NCK932. Molecular and biochemical analyses confirmed the presence of the gene (sodA) and the expression of an active gene product (MnSOD) in these strains of lactobacilli. The specific activities of MnSOD were 6.7, 3.8, 5.8, and 60.7 U/mg of protein for L. gasseri, L. johnsonii, L. acidophilus, and L. reuteri, respectively. The expression of S. thermophilus MnSOD in L. gasseri and L. acidophilus provided protection against hydrogen peroxide stress. The data show that MnSOD protects cells against hydrogen peroxide by removing O(2)(.-) and preventing the redox cycling of iron. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of a sodA from S. thermophilus being expressed in other lactic acid bacteria. 相似文献

In order to better understand the role of antioxidant enzymes in plant stress protection mechanisms, transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) plants were developed that overexpress both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in chloroplasts. These plants were evaluated for protection against methyl viologen (MV, paraquat)‐mediated oxidative damage both in leaf discs and whole plants. Transgenic plants that express either chloroplast‐targeted CuZnSOD (C) or MnSOD (M) and APX (A) were developed (referred to as CA plants and AM plants, respectively). These plant lines were crossed to produce plants that express all three transgenes (CMA plants and AMC plants). These plants had higher total APX and SOD activities than non‐transgenic (NT) plants and exhibit novel APX and SOD isoenzymes not detected in NT plants. As expected, transgenic plants that expressed single SODs showed levels of protection from MV that were only slightly improved compared to NT plants. The expression of either SOD isoform along with APX led to increased protection while expression of both SODs and APX provided the highest levels of protection against membrane damage in leaf discs and visual symptoms in whole plants. 相似文献

The superoxide dismutases (SODs) are first-line enzymatic antioxidants that dismute superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) to produce hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). The primary objective was to characterize, by western blot analysis, the expression of two SODs, the cytosolic (Cu,ZnSOD or SOD1) and the mitochondrial (MnSOD or SOD2) forms in three sections of the oviduct, i.e. isthmus (I), ishtmic-ampullary junction (IA), and ampulla (A), during the estrous cycle. The Cu,ZnSOD and MnSOD proteins were mostly expressed in the ampulla (I相似文献

We have studied the expression of antioxidant genes in response to near ambient conditions of O3, SO2, and ultraviolet B (UV-B) in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia L. The genes analyzed encode four different superoxide dismutases (SODs), three catalases (Cat1, Cat2, and Cat3), the cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cyt APx), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). The experimental setup for each treatment was essentially the same and caused no visible damage, thus allowing direct comparison of the different stress responses. Our data showed that the effects of O3, SO2, and UV-B on the antioxidant genes are very similar, although the response to SO2 is generally less pronounced and delayed. The effects of the different stresses are characterized by a decline in Cat1, a moderate increase in Cat3, and a strong increase in Cat2 and GPx. Remarkably, SODs and cyt APx were not affected. Analysis of SOD and APx expression in the ozone-sensitive Nicotiana tabacum L. cv PBD6 revealed that induction of the cytosolic copper/zinc SOD and cyt APx occurs only with the onset of visible damage. It is proposed that alterations in mRNA levels of catalases and GPx, but not of SODs and cyt APx, form part of the initial antioxidant response to O3, SO2, and UV-B in Nicotiana. 相似文献
