Abstract | This entry represents nickel-dependent superoxide dismutase (NiSOD) , a SOD enzyme that uses nickel, rather than iron, manganese, copper, or zinc. All SOD enzymes catalyse the dismutation of toxic superoxide radical anions to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in order to protect cells from oxidative damage. The catalytic cycle of NiSOD consists of two half-reactions, each initiated by the successive approach of substrate to the metal centre. The first (reductive) phase involves Ni(III) reduction to Ni(II), and the second (oxidative) phase involves the metal reoxidation back to its resting state [16756300]. NiSOD has a novel SOD fold and assembly, consisting of a hexameric assembly of 4-helix bundles of up-and-down topology, which contains a 9-residue nickel-hook structural motif that is critical for metal binding and catalysis [15209499]. A gene for a required protease (NiSOD maturation protease) is adjacent to the NiSOD gene. |

Browse and view proteins in genomes which have
different domain combinations including a Nickel-containing superoxide dismutase, NiSOD domain.
|
Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.
|
Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.
