Characterization of three yeast copper-zinc superoxide dismutase mutants analogous to those coded for in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
11 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
Sequences encoding three copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) mutant proteins analogous to those coded for in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) were constructed in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CuZnSOD gene and expressed in yeast lacking CuZnSOD (sod1-). Gly85-->Arg CuZnSOD failed to rescue the oxygen-sensitive phenotype of sod1- yeast, but Gly93-->Ala CuZnSOD and Lys100-->Gly CuZnSOD were...
