摘要

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been purified to homogeneity from Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, which are significant causative agents of aspergillosis, and from A. nidulans and A. terreus, which are much rarer causative agents of disease, using a combination of isoelectric focusing and gel filtration fast protein liquid chromatography. The purified enzymes have been compared with the previously described SOD from the most important pathogen in the genus, A. fumigatus (M. D. Holdom, R. J. Hay, and A. J. Hamilton, Free Radical Res. 22:519-531, 1995). The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the four newly purified enzymes were almost identical and demonstrated homology to known Cu,Zn SODs from a range of organisms including that from the previously described SOD from A. fumigatus. SOD activity was detectable in the culture filtrates of all species, and intracellular Cu,Zn SOD activity as a proportion of total protein was highest in early-log-phase cultures. The specific activities of the purified enzymes were similar, and all four of the newly described enzymes were inhibited by potassium cyanide and diethyldithiocarbamate, known Cu,Zn SOD inhibitors. Sodium azide and o-phenanthroline demonstrated inhibition at concentrations from 5 to 30 mM, and EDTA also exhibited a varying degree of inhibition of SOD activity. However, there were differences in the nonreduced molecular masses, the reduced molecular masses, and the isoelectric points of the four newly described SODs and the A. fumigatus enzyme; these varied from 55 to 123 kDa, 17.5 to 19.5 kDa, and 5.0 to 5.9, respectively. Of particular note was the observation that the A. fumigatus enzyme was thermostable compared with the SODs from the other species; in addition, the A.fiumigatus enzyme retained all of its activity at 37 degrees C relative to 20 degrees C, whereas the SODs of A. nidulans and A. terreus lost significant activity at the higher temperature. Aspergillus Cu,Zn SOD plays a hypothetical role in the avoidance of oxidative killing mechanisms, and our data suggest that the thermotolerant A. fumigatus Cu,Zn SOD would be more effective in such a protective system than, for example, the equivalent enzyme from the more rarely pathogenic A. nidulans.
