The Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD) originally isolated from the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli has been cloned and overexpressed in the E. coli strain BMH 71/18. The protein has been purified as a single component of 17,000 Da, corresponding to one subunit of the common dimeric eukaryotic Cu,Zn SODs. Large crystals of the purified protein have been grown in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4,000 at pH 8.5; the crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit cell constants a = 33.1 A, b = 52.6 A, c = 43.3 A, beta = 111.4 degrees. One SOD subunit is contained in the asymmetric unit, yielding a Vm value of 2.1 A3/Da; the crystals diffract X-rays beyond 2.0 A resolution.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
