Abstract excerpt
The superoxide dismutase (SOD) family of Metarhizium robertsii, a fungal insect pathogen, comprises six members functionally unknown yet, including Cu/ZnSODs (Sod1/5/6), MnSODs (Sod2/3), and FeSOD (Sod4). Here, we show a mitochondrial localization of Sod3 and Sod4 and a requirement of either sod4 or sod6 for the fungal life as suggested by an inability to be deleted. We found remarked roles of Sod1, Sod2, and...
