Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that reduces superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide in cell mitochondria. MnSOD is overexpressed in normal aging brain and in various central nervous system disorders; however, the mechanisms mediating the upregulation of MnSOD under the
The effect of different Mn levels on the isozyme pattern of superoxide dismutase was investigated. Pisum sativum L. plants were grown in nutrient solutions containing three Mn concentrations: 0.005 gg/ml (deficient), 0.05 gg/ml (low), and 0.5 lag/ml (optimum). Leaf extracts contained three electroph
## Abstract We have expressed and characterized a mutant of __Xenopus laevis__ Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase in which four highly conserved charged residues belonging to the electrostatic loop have been replaced by neutral side chains: Lys120 โ Leu, Asp130 โ Gln, Glu131 โ Gln, and Lys134 โ Thr. At lo
