Cloning, Expression, and Characterization of Two Manganese Superoxide Dismutases from Caenorhabditis elegans
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Two genes encoding manganese superoxide dismutase (sod-2 and sod-3) have been identified in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Each gene is composed of five exons, and intron positions are identical; however, intron sizes and sequences are not the same. The predicted protein sequences are 86.3% homologous (91.8% conservative), and the cDNAs are only 75.2% homologous. Both deduced protein sequences contain the...
