Abstract excerpt
We previously described a coding mutation (L60F) in the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) gene of the human T cell leukemia-derived cell line Jurkat. In cell extracts the L60F mutant enzyme showed unusual inhibition by thiol reagents not seen in wild-type enzyme. Here we compare the properties of purified recombinant L60F SOD2 with a previously described SOD2 mutant, I58T. Both mutant proteins display a...
