Abstract
The syntheses of copper, zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) and manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) in vitro were studied. Both Cu,Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD were preferentially synthesized by free polysomes. Mn-SOD was synthesized as a large precursor (26,000 daltons), which was processed to the mature size (22,500 daltons) by in vitro incubation with a rat liver mitochondrial fraction. On the other hand, Cu,Zn-SOD was synthesized as the mature size product. It was shown that Cu,Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD synthesized in vitro represented 0.018% and 0.016% of the total translation products of free polysomes, respectively.Entities:
