1. A basic protein (pI = 9.0) exhibiting superoxide dismutase activity was purified to homogeneity from rat liver by DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose and S-hexylglutathione affinity gel chromatography, chromatofocusing and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. 2. The purified enzyme had specific activity of 4700 units/mg protein. The activity was not affected by 2 mM KCN. Manganese was detected in the enzyme preparation; the content was 0.9 mol/mol subunit. The N-terminal sequence of the first 23 amino acids of the enzyme exhibited a strong homology (except at position 11) with the mature protein of human Mn-superoxide dimutase. It is, therefore, concluded that the purified enzyme is Mn-superoxide dismutase. 3. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed that about 50% of tyrosine at position 11 was substituted by glutamine, suggesting the existence of microheterogeneity of the superoxide dismutase protein. 4. The superoxide dismutase purified here was found to consist of subunits with an apparent relative molecular mass of 25,000. This larger than the value hitherto reported for rat liver Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mr 2,400); the previous low value is attributed to differences in methods. 5. The enzyme was shown by immuno-blotting to be exclusively localized in the mitochondrial fraction in the liver. The tissue content of Mn-superoxide dismutase is organ-specific, and was the highest in heart. The precursor protein of the Mn-superoxide dismutase was not detectable in the liver cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions as well as in several extrahepatic organs (lung, heart, brain, muscle, kidney and testis), suggesting rapid transport across mitochondrial membranes and processing of the superoxide dismutase protein. 相似文献

The synthesis and subcellular localization of the two superoxide dismutases of Dactylium dendroides were studied in relation to changes in copper and manganese availability. Cultures grew normally at all medium copper concentrations used (10 nM to 1 mM). In the presence of high (10 μM) copper, manganese was poorly absorbed in comparison to the other metals in the medium. However, cells grown at 10 nM copper exhibited a 3.5-fold increase in manganese content, while the concentration of the other metals remained constant. Cultures grown at 10 nM copper or more had 80% Cu/Zn enzyme and 20% mangani enzyme; the former was entirely in the cytosol, and the latter was mitochondrial. Removal of copper from the medium resulted in decreased Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase synthesis with a concomitant increase in the mangani enzyme such that total cellular superoxide dismutase activity remained constant. The mangani enzyme in excess of the 20% was present in the non-mitochondrial fraction. The mitochondria, therefore, show no variability with respect to superoxide dismutase content, whereas the soluble fraction varies from 100 to 13% Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. Copper-starved cells that were synthesizing predominantly mangani superoxide dismutase could be switched over to mostly Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase synthesis by supplementing the medium with copper during growth. Immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that the decrease in Cu/Zn activity at low copper concentration is a result of decreased synthesis of that protein rather than the production of an inactive apoprotein. 相似文献

Complete amino acid sequence of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase from Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The complete amino acid sequence of the Drosophila melanogaster Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase subunit has been determined by automated Edman degradation. Sequence analyses were performed on the intact S-carboxymethylated protein, two fragments derived from CNBr cleavage, and three peptides recovered from mouse submaxillary protease digestion of the reduced and S-carboxymethylated enzyme. The peptides were aligned by characterizing peptides yielded by trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. All the peptides studied were purified exclusively by reverse-phase columns of HPLC and were analyzed with an improved liquid-phase sequencer. A molecular weight of 15,750 (subunit) was calculated from the 151 residues sequenced. The amino acid sequence of the Drosophila superoxide dismutase subunit is compared with that of four other eucaryotes: man, horse, cow, and yeast. Comparison of the five primary structures reveals very different rates of evolution at different times. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase appears to be a very erratic evolutionary clock.

Three stable hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies specific for human liver manganese superoxide dismutase were established, and one monoclonal antibody, PG 11, was chosen for immunochemical studies. Immunoblotting demonstrated that the monoclonal antibody binds exclusively to the manganese superoxide dismutase. Immunohistochemical studies indicated that the enzyme is localized in the matrix of human liver mitochondria. To localize antibody-binding epitope, synthetic peptides of the NH2-terminal (residues 1-16) and COOH-terminal (residues 182-189, 190-196, and 182-196) parts of the enzyme were synthesized, and then their effects on the binding were studied using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. All of the above COOH-terminal peptides inhibited the binding whereas the NH2-terminal ones did not, indicating that PG 11 recognizes several peptides of COOH termini of manganese superoxide dismutase. This is the first report of monoclonal antibodies against human manganese superoxide dismutase with a distinct epitope and of the immunocytochemical demonstration of manganese superoxide dismutase. 相似文献

We have identified two distinct pools of superoxide dismutase in fractions of human peripheral neutrophils obtained by the isopycnic fractionation of homogenates of the latter with linear sucrose gradients. Superoxide dismutase activity, observed with polyacrylamide gels impregnated with Nitro Blue Tetrazolium, was present in: (1) the mitochondrial fraction [density (rho) 1.169g/ml], containing the high-molecular-weight KCN-resistant enzyme, and (2) the cytoplasm fraction, containing the low-molecular-weight KCN-sensitive enzyme. Superoxide dismutase activity, observed with a quantitative assay involving cytochrome c, was present in: (1) the mitochondria, (2) the cytoplasm, and (3) the azurophil-granule fractions (rho=1.206 and 1.222g/ml). No substantial enzyme activity was observed in specific-granule fractions (rho=1.187g/ml) or in the membranous fraction (rho=1.136g/ml) in either assay. The apparent superoxide dismutase activity observed in the azurophil granules with the cytochrome c assay was attributable not to true superoxide dismutase but to myeloperoxidase, an enzyme found solely in the azurophil granules. In the presence of H(2)O(2), human neutrophil myeloperoxidase oxidized ferrocytochrome c. Thus, in the cytochrome c assay for superoxide dismutase, the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by myeloperoxidase mimicked the inhibition of reduction of ferricytochrome c by superoxide dismutase. When myeloperoxidase was removed from azurophilgranule fractions by specific immuno-affinity chromatography, both myeloperoxidase and apparent superoxide dismutase activities were removed. It is concluded that there is no detectable superoxide dismutase in either the azurophil or specific granules of human neutrophils. Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, 15% of the total dismutase activity of the cells, occurred only in fractions of density 1.160g/ml, where isocitrate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase were also observed. 相似文献

An oxygen-induced iron superoxide dismutase was found in the culture fluid of the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus during growth on glucose-rich media. This protein was also identified as being associated with the cell-surface, with the amount of the released and cell-bound protein fractions depending on the growth phase of the cells. The steady decrease in cell-associated superoxide dismutase during continued growth correlated with the increase of free superoxide dismutase in the medium. Both enzyme fractions were purified to homogeneity and found to be active with different catalytic efficiency, with the released superoxide dismutase showing a fourfold lower specific activity. Characterization in comparison with the cytosolic superoxide dismutase revealed identical N-terminal sequences, electrophoretic mobility, isoelectric point, and molecular mass for all three differently located enzymes. In order to clarify the physiological role of the cell-associated superoxide dismutase, the prevention of cell-bound protein deactivation by oxyradicals was also investigated. Glucose dehydrogenase, which was chosen as a model enzyme, was demonstrated to be located on the cell surface and to be inactivated by potassium superoxide by in vivo assays. The direct protective effect of superoxide dismutase on glucose dehydrogenase was demonstrated by in vitro assays on the free released enzyme. Similarly, the prevention of deactivation by potassium superoxide was also demonstrated for the integral membrane protein succinate dehydrogenase by intact cell assay. Superoxide dismutase added to cells was shown to moderately reduce the critical damaging peroxidation and hence play a major role in maintaining the integrity of the outer cell envelope components. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutase activity was measured in different stages of growth of filarial parasites (human and cattle). The activity
was almost undetected or very low in microfilarial stage but in adult worms, the enzyme activity was high. The enzyme was
characterized to be a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. Most of the enzyme activity was associated with a detergent extractable
fraction of adult (Setaria) parasite. The enzyme was also detected in thein vitro released products of adult worms. The superoxide dismutase activity was completely inhibited with IgG antibody from chronic
filarial patients in contrast to IgG from normal people. Filarial patients particularly have high IgG and IgM antibody levels
to purified enzyme. However, individuals from non-filarial regions of Orissa are sero-negative for superoxide dismutase antibodies.
Antibody response to superoxide dismutase could thus be used for filarial diagnosis. 相似文献

The effect of ischemia-reperfusion on activity, protein and m-RNA levels of catalase, copper-zinc and manganese containing superoxide dismutases and glutathione peroxidase, the enzymes that are involved in free radical detoxification was studied in rat kidney. Ischemia alone did not alter either the activities or protein levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. However, catalase activity was found to be inhibited to 82% of control. The inhibition of catalase was due to the inactivation of the enzyme as there was no significant change in enzyme protein level. Reperfusion following ischemia, however, led to a significant decrease in both the activities as well as the protein levels of all the antioxidant enzymes. The observed overall decrease in total superoxide dismutase activity was the net effect of a decrease in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase while manganese superoxide dismutase activity was found to be increased following reperfusion. This observed increased manganese superoxide dismutase activity was the result of its increased protein level. The mRNA levels for catalase, superoxide dismutases, and glutathione peroxidase were observed to be increased (100–145% of controls) following ischemia; reperfusion of ischemic kidneys, however, resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of mRNAs coding for all the enzymes except manganese superoxide dismutase which remained high. These results suggest that in tissue, the down regulation of the antioxidant enzyme system could be responsible for the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury. 相似文献

Glycation and inactivation of human Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase. Identification of the in vitro glycated sites 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The nonenzymatic glycosylation (glycation) of Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase led to gradual inactivation of the enzyme (Arai, K. Iizuka, S., Tada, Y., Oikawa, K., and Taniguchi, N. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 924, 292-296). The purified superoxide dismutase from human erythrocytes comprises both glycated and nonglycated forms. The nonglycated Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase was isolated by boronate affinity chromatography. Incubation of the nonglycated superoxide dismutase with D-[6-3H]glucose in vitro resulted in the gradual accumulation of radioactivity in the enzyme protein, and Schiff base adducts were trapped by NaBH4. The sites of glycation of the superoxide dismutase were identified by amino acid analysis after reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography of the trypsin-treated peptides. Lysine residues, i.e. Lys3, Lys9, Lys30, Lys36, Lys122, and Lys128, were found to be glycated. Three of the glycated sites lie in Lys-Gly, two in Lys-Ala, and one in Lys-Val. The inactivation of the superoxide dismutase on the glycation is due mainly to the glycation of Lys122 and Lys128, which are supposed to be located in an active site liganding loop. The remaining five sites, such as Lys-Glu, Lys-Asp, Lys-His, and Lys-Thr are relatively inactive as to the formation of either a Schiff base or an Amadori adduct. 相似文献

Human manganese superoxide dismutase (Sod2p) has been expressed in yeast and the protein purified from isolated yeast mitochondria, yielding both the metallated protein and the less stable apoprotein in a single chromatographic step. At 30 °C growth temperature, more than half of the purified enzyme is apoprotein that can be fully activated following reconstitution, while the remainder contains a mixture of manganese and iron. In contrast, only fully metallated enzyme was isolated from a similarly constructed yeast strain expressing the homologous yeast manganese superoxide dismutase. Both the manganese content and superoxide dismutase activity of the recombinant human enzyme increased with increasing growth temperatures. The dependence of in vivo metallation state on growth temperature resembles the in vitro thermal activation behavior of human manganese superoxide dismutase observed in previous studies. Partially metallated human superoxide dismutase is fully active in protecting yeast against superoxide stress produced by addition of paraquat to the growth medium. However, a splice variant of human manganese superoxide dismutase (isoform B) is expressed as insoluble protein in both Escherichia coli and yeast mitochondria and did not protect yeast against superoxide stress. 相似文献

A copper-deprived form of the enzyme Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase was identifiedin the liver of rats made copper-deficient by dietary restriction. In homogenates ofsuch livers Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase presents a dis-homogeneous electrophoreticprofile with respect to the native enzyme. When rat liver extracts were treated withexogenous copper an electrophoretic pattern resembling the native one was observed.Enzyme purified by chromatography on DE-52 resin shows two major components, onecorresponding to genuine, native enzyme and another one, eluting at higher ionicstrength. The latter protein (Fraction II) consists of several isoforms which showthe same characteristics of the native superoxide dismutase as far as immunoreactivityand molecular weight are concerned, but with decreased contents of copper and zinc. Itscatalytic constant, referring to copper content, was 15 times lower than that obtainedfor the native enzyme. Moreover, the catalytic power of purified Fraction II was notregained upon incubation with copper. The occurrence of a superoxide dismutase voidof metals confirms the hypothesis that this protein plays a dual physiological role:in metal metabolism and in superoxide anion dismutation. 相似文献

Hansenula polymorpha CBS 4732 was studied during cultivation on methanol and different glucose concentrations. Activities of Cu/Zn and Mn superoxide dismutase, catalase and methanol oxidase were investigated. During cultivation on methanol, increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities and an induced methanol oxidase were achieved. Transfer of a methanol grown culture to medium with a high glucose concentration caused growth inhibition, low consumption of carbon, nitrogen and phosphate substrates, methanol oxidase inactivation as well as decrease of catalase activity (21.8 +/- 0.61 deltaE240 x min(-1) x mg protein(-1)). At the same time, a high value for superoxide dismutase enzyme was found (42.9 +/- 0.98 U x mg protein(-1), 25% of which was represented by Mn superoxide dismutase and 75% - by the Cu/Zn type). During derepression methanol oxidase was negligible (0.005 +/- 0.0001 U x mg protein(-1)), catalase tended to be the same as in the repressed culture, while superoxide dismutase activity increased considerably (63.67 +/- 1.72 U x mg protein(-1), 69% belonging to the Cu/Zn containing enzyme). Apparently, the cycle of growth inhibition and reactivation of Hansenula polymorpha CBS 4732 cells is strongly connected with the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase. 相似文献

Cyanide-insensitive superoxide dismutase activity was present in both cytosol (26%) and mitochondrial (64%) fractions of bovine adrenal cells. The cyanide-insensitive superoxide dismutase was isolated from the mitochondrial fraction. It contained 2.2 g atoms of manganese per mol of enzyme. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 82,000 and a subunit molecular weight of 22,000. The isoelectric point, amino acid composition, and spectra of visible and ultraviolet regions were similar to those of the Mn-superoxide dismutase from the other mitochondria. 相似文献

The primary structure of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase isolated from rat liver was determined. The enzyme was reduced, carboxymethylated and fragmented by treatment with cyanogen bromide, trypsin or Staphylococcus aureus proteinase V8. The resulting peptides were separated by gel filtration or high performance liquid chromatography and sequenced by automated Edman degradation. The total sequence of 153 amino-acid residues per subunit was reconstructed from overlapping peptides. Rat Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase proved to be closely related to the corresponding sequences of other mammals in having more than 80% identical amino-acid residues in homologous position and an acetylated N-terminus. Comparison of the rat Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase structure with those of other species suggests a similar phylogenetic distance between rat, man, pig, cattle and horse and a rapid molecular divergence during vertebrate development compared to earlier evolutionary periods. 相似文献

1. A polarographic assay of superoxide (O2--) dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) activity is described, in which the ability of the enzyme to inhibit O2---dependent sulphite oxidation, initiated by xanthine oxidase activity, is measured. The assay was used in a study of the intracellular distribution of superoxide dismutase in rat liver. Both cyanide-sensitive cupro-zinc dismutase (92% of the total activity) and cyanide-insensitive mangano-dismutase (8%) were measured. 2. Rat liver homogenates contained both particulate (16%y and soluble (84%) dismutase activity. The particulate activity contained both types of dismutase, whereas nearly all the soluble dismutase was a cupro-zinc enzymes. The distribution pattern of mangano-dismutase was similar to that of cytochrome oxidase and glutamate dehydrogenase, indicating that the enzyme was probably present exclusively in the mitochondria. 3. Superoxide dismutase activity in the heavy-mitochondrial (M) fraction was latent and was activated severalfold and largely solubilized by sonication. Treatment of the M fraction with digitonin or a hypo-osmotic suspending medium indicated that most of the cupro-zinc dismutase was located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, whereas the mangano-enzyme was located in the inner-membrane and matrix space. 4. A small amount of dismutase activity appeared to be present in the nuclei and microsomal fraction, but little or no activity in the lysosomes or peroxisomes. 5. The results are discussed in relation to the intracellular location of known O2---generating enzymes, the possible role of superoxide dismutase activity in intracellular H2O2 formation, and to current views on the physiological function of the enzyme. 相似文献

The subcellular localization of superoxide dismutase was investigated in rat liver homogenates. Most of the superoxide dismutase activity is present in the soluble fraction (84%), the rest being associated with mitochondria. No indications for the occurrence of superoxide dismutase in other subcellular structures, particularly in peroxisomes, was found. Mitochondrial activity is not due to adsorption, since the sedimentable activity is essentially latent. Subfractionation of mitochondria by hypo-osmotic shock and sonication shows that half of the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase activity is localized in the intermembrane space, the rest of the enzyme being a component of the matrix space. In non-ionic media the matrix enzyme is, however, adsorbed to the inner membrane, from which it can be desorbed by low (0.04M) concentration of KCl. Superoxide dismutase activity was found in all rat organs investigated. Maximal activity of the enzyme is observed in liver, adrenals and kidney. In adrenals, the highest specific activity is associated with the medulla. 相似文献

Exposure to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been shown to cause induction of cataract in which oxidative stress plays a critical role. From bovine lens we purified to homogeneity and identified an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of TNT, resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species. The final preparation of TNT reductase showed a single band with a subunit molecular weight of 38 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Sequence data from peptides obtained by digestion with lysylendopeptidase Achromobacter protease I (API) revealed that TNT reductase is identical to zeta-crystallin. Superoxide anions were formed during reduction of TNT by zeta-crystallin, though negligible enzyme activity or protein content for superoxide dismutase, a superoxide scavenging enzyme, was found in the lens. Thus, the present results suggest that the induction of cataracts by TNT may be associated with increased oxidative stress, as a result of reductive activation of TNT generating superoxide anions, there being minimal antioxidant enzyme activity for defense against reactive oxygen species exogenously produced in the lens. 相似文献

Leishmania tropica promastigotes stimulate macrophages to produce activated oxygen as measured by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. Exogenous superoxide dismutase and catalase inhibit this by 95%, implying that both superoxide and hydrogen peroxide are generated. Whereas leishmania have undetectable levels of catalase, and very little glutathione peroxidase, they have relatively high amcunts of superoxide dismutase (23 units/mg protein). The leishmanial superoxide dismutase is cyanide-insensitive but azide- and peroxide-sensitive, suggesting that the enzyme may be iron-containing. Furthermore, the leishmanial superoxide dismutase is insensitive to diethyldithiocarbamate, which inhibits vertebrate enzymes. Thus, leishmania may contain a superoxide dismutase which is different from its host's enzyme. A specific inhibitor of this enzyme might serve as an antileishmanial agent. 相似文献
