FunctionSODM_DEIRA Destroys superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe structure of the manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD; DR1279) from Deinococcus radiodurans has been determined in two different crystal forms. Both crystal forms are monoclinic with space group P2(1). Form I has unit-cell parameters a = 44.28, b = 83.21, c = 59.52 angstroms, beta = 110.18 degrees and contains a homodimer in the asymmetric unit, with structure refinement (R = 16.8%, R(free) = 23.6%) carried out using data to d(min) = 2.2 angstroms. Form II has unit-cell parameters a = 43.57, b = 87.10, c = 116.42 angstroms, beta = 92.1 degrees and an asymmetric unit containing two Mn-SOD homodimers; structure refinement was effected to a resolution of 2.0 angstroms (R = 17.2%, R(free) = 22.3%). The resulting structures are compared with that of Mn-SOD from Escherichia coli, with which they are shown to be essentially isostructural.
