Characteristics of a Novel Manganese Superoxide Dismutase of a Hadal Sea Cucumber (Paelopatides sp.) from the Mariana Trench.

Marine drugs | 2019

A novel, cold-adapted, and acid-base stable manganese superoxide dismutase (Ps-Mn-SOD) was cloned from hadal sea cucumber Paelopatides sp. The dimeric recombinant enzyme exhibited approximately 60 kDa in molecular weight, expressed activity from 0 °C to 70 °C with an optimal temperature of 0 °C, and resisted wide pH values from 2.2⁻13.0 with optimal activity (> 70%) at pH 5.0⁻12.0. The Km and Vmax of Ps-Mn-SOD were 0.0329 ± 0.0040 mM and 9112 ± 248 U/mg, respectively. At tested conditions, Ps-Mn-SOD was relatively stable in divalent metal ion and other chemicals, such as β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, Tween 20, Triton X-100, and Chaps. Furthermore, the enzyme showed striking stability in 5 M urea or 4 M guanidine hydrochloride, resisted digestion by proteases, and tolerated a high hydrostatic pressure of 100 MPa. The resistance of Ps-Mn-SOD against low temperature, extreme acidity and alkalinity, chemicals, proteases, and high pressure make it a potential candidate in biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


InterPro (tool)

RRID:SCR_006695

Service providing functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting domains and important sites. They combine protein signatures from a number of member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalizing on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool. This integrated database of predictive protein signatures is used for the classification and automatic annotation of proteins and genomes. InterPro classifies sequences at superfamily, family and subfamily levels, predicting the occurrence of functional domains, repeats and important sites. InterPro adds in-depth annotation, including GO terms, to the protein signatures. You can access the data programmatically, via Web Services. The member databases use a number of approaches: # ProDom: provider of sequence-clusters built from UniProtKB using PSI-BLAST. # PROSITE patterns: provider of simple regular expressions. # PROSITE and HAMAP profiles: provide sequence matrices. # PRINTS provider of fingerprints, which are groups of aligned, un-weighted Position Specific Sequence Matrices (PSSMs). # PANTHER, PIRSF, Pfam, SMART, TIGRFAMs, Gene3D and SUPERFAMILY: are providers of hidden Markov models (HMMs). Your contributions are welcome. You are encouraged to use the ''''Add your annotation'''' button on InterPro entry pages to suggest updated or improved annotation for individual InterPro entries.

ProtParam Tool (tool)

RRID:SCR_018087

Software tool to calculate various physicochemical parameters for given protein stored in Swiss-Prot or TrEMBL or for user entered protein sequence. Protein can either be pecified as Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession number or ID, or in form of raw sequence. Computed parameters include molecular weight, theoretical pI, amino acid composition, atomic composition, extinction coefficient, estimated half-life, instability index, aliphatic index and grand average of hydropathicity.
