Investigation of the structure of bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 1977

A E Cass, and A O Hill, and B E Smith, and J V Bannister, and W H Bannister

The 270-MHz 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the apo, copper(I)-zinc(II), and copper(II)-zinc(II) forms of bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) are reported, and assignments of resonances to ten amino acid residues are proposed. The data require that at least four and probably six histidine residues serve as ligands to the metals in each subunit of the enzyme, consistent with x-ray diffraction results. The remaining assigned resonances are associated with His-19, His-41, Tyr-108, and the N-terminal N-acetyl group. The imidazole C(2)H of His-41 exchanges readily at pH greater than 8. The structural implications of the effect of the paramagnetic Cu(II) in the holoenzyme on the proton relaxation times are in reasonable accord with the data from x-ray diffraction studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008670 Metals Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Metal
D009682 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons. It is employed in clinical applications such as NMR Tomography (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
