Bacterial copper‐ and zinc‐cofactored superoxide dismutase contributes to the pathogenesis of systemic salmonellosis
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Copper/zinc-cofactored superoxide dismutase ([Cu,Zn]-SOD) has been found in the periplasm of many bacterial species but its biological function is unknown. Here we report the cloning and characterization of sodC, encoding [Cu,Zn]-SOD, from Salmonella typhimurium. The predicted protein sequence shows only 58% identity to Escherichia coil SodC, and from this its chromosomal location and its immediate proximity to a...
