Paradoxical roles of antioxidant enzymes:Basic mechanisms and health implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are generated from aerobic metabolism, as a result of accidental electron leakage as well as regulated enzymatic processes.

A balancing act: mTOR integrates nutrient signals to regulate redox-dependent growth and survival through SOD1

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018
Maintaining cellular redox is critical for growth, metabolism and survival in response to changing environments. How nutrients regulate this process is a long-standing fundamental question in cell biology.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)-mimetic M40403 is protective in cell and fly models of paraquat toxicity: Implications for Parkinson disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Parkinson disease is a debilitating and incurable neurodegenerative disorder affecting 3c1-2% of people over 65 years of age. Oxidative damage is considered to play a central role in the progression of Parkinson disease and strong evidence links chronic

A novel SOD1-ALS mutation separates central and peripheral effects of mutant SOD1 toxicity [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2014
Transgenic mouse models expressing mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) have been critical in furthering our understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, such models generally overexpress the mutant protein, which may give rise to phenotypes not directly relevant to the disorder.

Does wild-type Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase have pathogenic roles in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?

open access: yesTranslational Neurodegeneration, 2020
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by adult-onset progressive degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Increasing numbers of genes are found to be associated with ALS; among those, the first identified gene, SOD1 coding a Cu/Zn ...

Non-enzymatic role of SOD1 in intestinal stem cell growth

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) modulates intestinal barrier integrity and intestinal homeostasis as an antioxidant enzyme. Intestinal homeostasis is maintained by the intestinal stem cells (ISCs).

Broad clinical phenotypes associated with TAR-DNA binding protein (TARDBP) mutations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The finding of TDP-43 as a major component of ubiquitinated protein inclusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has led to the identification of 30 mutations in the transactive response-DNA binding protein (TARDBP) gene, encoding TDP-43.

An examination of wild-type SOD1 in modulating the toxicity and aggregation of ALS-associated mutant SOD1 [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2010
Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are associated with familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Studies in transgenic mice have suggested that wild-type (WT) SOD1 can modulate the toxicity of mutant SOD1. In the present study, we demonstrate that the effects of WT SOD1 on the age at which transgenic mice expressing mutant human ...

Characterization of SOD1-DT, a Divergent Long Non-Coding RNA in the Locus of the SOD1 Human Gene

open access: yesCells, 2023
Researchers studying Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) have made significant efforts to find a unique mechanism to explain the etiopathology of the different forms of the disease. However, despite several mutations associated with ALS having been discovered in recent years, the link between the mutated genes and its onset has not yet been fully ...

Genetic alterations of C9orf72, SOD1, TARDBP, FUS, and UBQLN2 genes in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesCogent Medicine, 2019
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the most common motor neuron disease of the adulthood. Genetic analyses performed on cases with sporadic ALS (sALS) and familial ALS (fALS) have revealed mutations most commonly in the genes C9orf72, SOD1, TARDBP, FUS ...
