✦ Synopsis

We have isolated the cytosolic form of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) from the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii. This enzyme has a subunit mass of 18 kDa. The preparation was found to be heterogeneous by IF electrophoresis with two pI ranges: 5.14-4.0 and 1.6-1.8. The enzyme preparation had a remarkably strong stability at pH 6.0-7.0, surviving boiling for 10 min without losing more than 60% of activity. On Western blots, this enzyme was recognized by antibodies raised in rabbits against D. hansenii extracts, while only a weak cross-reaction could be detected using antibodies generated against either Saccharomyces cerevisiae or bovine erythrocyte Cu-Zn SODs. In sequencing analysis, a peptide obtained by trypsin digestion was found to have 85% identity to the S. cerevisiae Cu-Zn SOD.

## Abstract The demonstration of a genetic linkage between the copper‐zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has aroused interest in the role of SOD1 in motoneuronal death. We investigated the expression of the human SOD1 gene at a cellular level in the mot

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) protect cells from damage by oxygen free radicals. Manganese (Mn) SOD is preferentially induced in terminally differentiating cells; induction of copper-zinc (CuZn) SOD is more closely associated with postnatal exposure to environmental sources of oxygen free radicals. T
