Metal-dependent superoxide dismutases (SODs) with a specific requirement for a manganese or iron ion for catalytic activity and copper- and zinc-dependent enzymes are essential for detoxification of superoxide anion radicals. Genome sequence analyses predict the existence of a nickel-dependent enzyme (NiSOD) as the unique SOD in oxygen-evolving marine cyanobacteria. NiSOD activity was observed in Escherichia coli when sodN and sodX (encoding a putative peptidase) from Prochlorococcus marinus MIT9313 were coexpressed.
对催化活性有特定锰或铁离子需求的金属依赖性超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)以及铜锌依赖性酶对于超氧阴离子自由基的解毒至关重要。基因组序列分析预测,在进行产氧的海洋蓝细菌中存在一种镍依赖性酶(NiSOD)作为唯一的超氧化物歧化酶。当来自海洋原绿球藻MIT9313的sodN和sodX(编码一种假定的肽酶)共表达时,在大肠杆菌中观察到了NiSOD活性。
