DESCRIPTION

Also known as SOD5_CANAL, SOD5, PGA3, SOD31. Superoxide dismutases serve to convert damaging superoxide radicals, a key form of ROS, to less damaging hydrogen peroxide that can be converted into water by catalase action. Degrades host-derived reactive oxygen species to escape innate immune surveillance. Involved in the occurrence of miconazole-tolerant persisters in biofilms. Persisters are cells that survive high doses of an antimicrobial agent. The unusual attributes of SOD5-like fungal proteins, including the absence of zinc and an open active site that readily captures extracellular copper, make these SODs well suited to meet challenges in zinc and copper availability at the host-pathogen interface. Monomer.
