The primary structure of Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase from Kluyveromyces marxianus NBIMCC 1984 was elucidated by N-terminal sequence analysis of the intact protein and by determination of the amino acid sequences of tryptic peptides by MALDI-TOF-TOF tandem mass spectrometry. The molecular mass of one
Mutation of arginine (Arg) 143 with Ile in the monomeric mutant (Phe50Glu, Gly51Glu, Val148Lys, Ile151Lys) of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (R143I M4SOD, where M4SOD is the above mutant) leads to a protein with low copper content. Cobalt(II) binds the demetalized protein with a low and comparable
The activity profile of the Cu2Zn2HSOD Ile-137 mutant has a pKa of 9.6, i.e. one unit lower than the wild type (WT). This property has allowed us to investigate the inactive high pH form of the enzyme before denaturation occurs. The electronic and EPR spectra do not change with the above pKa. The 1H
