Contribution of Human Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Tyrosine 34 to Structure and Catalysis

Abstract: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are critical in controlling levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are linked to aging, cancer and neurodegenerative disease. Superoxide (O 2 •− ) produced during respiration is removed by the product of the SOD2 gene, the homotetrameric manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Here, we examine the structural and catalytic roles of the highly conserved active-site residue Tyr34, based upon structure-function studies of MnSOD enzymes with mutations at this site.

“…The resulting spectrum of Int 1 , which has an absorption maximum at 415 nm (Fig. 3B), is identical to those reported for Mn-peroxo complexes (8,10,14). Int 2 is an intermediate with broad absorption in the visible range and a maximum at 425 nm (Fig.…”

“…3A, left). Similar biphasic increases at 425 nm absorption have also been observed for several Y34 mutant human MnSODs (8). The 425 nm absorption of Y34F ScMnSOD slowly decreased at a longer time scale (Fig.…”
