UniProt functional annotation for P00445

UniProt code: P00445.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 H(+) + 2 superoxide = H2O2 + O2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20696, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16240, ChEBI:CHEBI:18421; EC=1.15.1.1;
Cofactor: Name=Cu cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:23378; Note=Binds 1 copper ion per subunit.;
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
Subunit: Homodimer in holo form. In apo form, heterodimer with CCS1. Zinc-binding at 'His-16' of CCS1 and Glu-43 of apo-SOD1 is required for this heterodimerization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10026301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11524675, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8652572}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11500508}. Mitochondrion intermembrane space {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11500508, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22984289}. Note=A small percentage (around 1-5 percent) localizes to the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
Miscellaneous: Present with 519000 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family. {ECO:0000305}.
