title: Amino acid sequence of iron-superoxide dismutase from Pseudomonas ovalis.
abstract: The amino acid sequence of iron-superoxide dismutase from Pseudomonas ovalis was deduced by the analyses of peptides derived from limited hydrolysis of the aminoethylated or pyridylethylated apoprotein with trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, and dilute acid hydrolysis. The polypeptide chain contains 195 amino acid residues and has a calculated Mr of 21,421. The sequence is highly homologous (65% identity) to the recently published sequence of the iron-superoxide dismutase from Photobacterium leiognathi. It is also homologous to the known sequences of the manganese-superoxide dismutase by sharing 33-53% identical residues. Alignment of the superoxide dismutase sequences and the available structural information from X-ray crystallography suggest that the ligands to the iron in the P. ovalis superoxide dismutase are His-26, His-74, Asp-156 and His-160, which align with the ligands to the manganese in the Thermus thermophilus manganese-superoxide dismutase. The sequence information of the P. ovalis dismutase will facilitate refinement of the X-ray crystallographic data that are now available at 2.9 A resolution.
