Abstract
AbstractSuperoxide dismutases are important group of antioxidant metallozyme and play important role in ROS homeostasis in salinity stress. The present study reports the biochemical properties of a salt-tolerant Cu, Zn-superoxide from Avicennia marina (Am_SOD). Am_SOD was purified from the leaf and identified by mass-spectrometry. Recombinant Am_SOD cDNA was bacterially expressed as a homodimeric protein. Enzyme kinetics revealed a high substrate affinity and specific activity of Am_SOD as compared to many earlier reported SODs. An electronic transition in 360–400 nm spectra of Am_SOD is indicative of Cu2+-binding. Am_SOD activity was potentially inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate and H2O2, a characteristic of Cu, Zn-SOD. Am_SOD exhibited conformational and functional stability at high NaCl concentration as well in alkaline pH. Introgression of Am_SOD in E. coli conferred tolerance to oxidative stress under highly saline condition. Am_SOD was moderately thermostable and retained functional activity at ~ 60 °C. In-silico analyses revealed 5 solvent-accessible N-terminal residues of Am_SOD that were less hydrophobic than those at similar positions of non-halophilic SODs. Substituting these 5 residues with non-halophilic counterparts resulted in > 50% reduction in salt-tolerance of Am_SOD. This indicates a cumulative role of these residues in maintaining low surface hydrophobicity of Am_SOD and consequently high salt tolerance. The molecular information on antioxidant activity and salt-tolerance of Am_SOD may have potential application in biotechnology research. To our knowledge, this is the first report on salt-tolerant SOD from mangrove.
