Superoxide dismutase topology

Figure 4.10 (a) The Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase is made up of eight anti-parallel P-strands both the constant (b) and variable (c) domains of immunoglobulins are made up of seven anti-parallel P-strands with the same topology the variable domain contains two additional P-strands.

The commonest subgroup of antiparallel /3 barrel structures has a Greek key topology, with -3,+1,+1,-3 connections or a close variant. The first Greek key barrel structures were compared in Richardson et al. (1976), and they and the up-and-down barrels were described as categories in Richardson (1977). Figure 96 illustrates Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase as an example of a Greek key j8 barrel. [Pg.299]

Although the details of the structure of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one form of which is a Cu,Zn-enzyme (Cu,Zn-SOD), have been well described previously (Getzoff etal., 1983), a brief description is repeated here, for the geometry of the copper site as well as the topology of its fold is relevant to all copper enzymes. [Pg.168]
