1 | The reactivity of asparagine residues in Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) to deamidate to aspartate remains uncharacterized; its occurrence in SOD1 has not been investigated, and the biophysical effects of deamidation on SOD1 are unknown. | Aspartic Acid | superoxide dismutase 1 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Deamidation is, nonetheless, chemically equivalent to Asn-to-Asp missense mutations in SOD1 that cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). | Aspartic Acid | superoxide dismutase 1 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Site-directed mutagenesis was used to successively substitute these asparagines with aspartate (to mimic deamidation) according to their predicted deamidation rate, yielding: N26D, N26D/N131D, and N26D/N131D/N139D SOD1. | Aspartic Acid | superoxide dismutase 1 | Homo sapiens |
