Abstract

We have compared the active sites of Escherichia coli Fe-substituted (Mn)superoxide dismutase [Fe-sub-(Mn)SOD] and Fe-SOD to elucidate the basis for the inactivity of Fe-sub-(Mn)SOD, despite its apparent similarity to Fe-SOD. The active site of (reduced) Fe2+-sub-(Mn)SOD is qualitatively similar to that of native Fe2+-SOD, indicating similar active site structures and coordination environments for Fe2+. Its nativelike pK is indicative of nativelike local electrostatics, and consistent with Fe2+-sub-(Mn)SOD's retention of ability to reduce O2*- [Vance and Miller (1998) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120(3), 461-467]. The active site of (oxidized) Fe3+-sub-(Mn)SOD differs from that of Fe3+-SOD with respect to the EPR signals produced at both neutral and high pH, indicating different coordination environments for Fe3+. Although Fe3+-sub-(Mn)SOD binds the small anions N3- and F-, the KD for N3- is tighter than that of Fe3+-SOD, suggesting that the (Mn)SOD protein favors anion binding more than does the (Fe)SOD protein. The EPR spectral consequences of binding F- are reminiscent of those observed upon binding the first F- to Fe3+-SOD, but the EPR spectrum obtained upon binding N3- is different, consistent with crystallographic observation of a d...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
