Description
Superoxide dismutase 1 protein
Human soluble superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1), complete cds (GenBank: AY450286.1). SOD1 is a soluble cytoplasmic protein functional as a homodimer that binds copper and zink ions. SOD1 catalyzes the reaction O
-2 + O
-2 + 2H
+ → H
2O
2 + O
2, protecting the cell from oxidative damage. SOD1 was first cloned and expressed in E. coli by
Hallewell ??????et al??????., (1985). Co-expression of SOD1 with the yeast copper chaperon (yCCS) (
Ahl ??????et al??????. 2003) yields proteins with higher copper contents, leading to increased activity and more stable proteins.
For the helper yeast copper chaperone (yCCS), see [[Part:BBa_K380008]].
Notes
The start and stop codon was removed and the gene was redesigned with BioBrick prefix and suffix according to assembly standard 25 using specifically designed primers and PCR
