From the The presence of intracellular aggregates
that contain Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in spinal cord motor
neurons is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS). Although SOD1 is abundant in all cells, its half-life in motor neurons far exceeds that in any other cell type. On the basis of the
premise that the long half-life of the protein increases the potential
for oxidative damage, we investigated the effects of oxidation on
misfolding/aggregation of SOD1 and ALS-associated SOD1 mutants.
Zinc-deficient wild-type SOD1 and SOD1 mutants were extremely prone to
form visible aggregates upon oxidation as compared with wild-type
holo-protein. Oxidation of select histidine residues that bind metals
in the active site mediates SOD1 aggregation. Our results provide a
plausible model to explain the accumulation of SOD1 aggregates in motor
neurons affected in ALS.
