The structure of bovine erythrocyte Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase was determined to 2 .ANG. resolution using only the larger structure factors beyond 4 .ANG.. The enzyme crystallizes in space group C2 with 2 dimeric enzyme molecules/asymmetric unit. All 4 crystallographically independent subunits were fitted separately to the electron density map at 2 .ANG. resolution on the University of North Carolina [USA] GRIP-75 molecular graphics system. Atomic coordinates were refined using the Hendrickson and Konnert (1980) program for stereochemically restrained refinement against structure factors, which allowed the use of noncrystallographic symmetry. The crystallographic residual error for the refined model was 25.5%, with a root-mean-square deviation of 0.03 .ANG. from ideal bond lenths and an average atomic temperature factor of 12 .ANG.2. Each enzyme subunit is composed primarily of 8 antiparallel .beta. strands that form a flattened cylinder, plus 3 external loops. The .beta. barrel is asymmetrical and can be viewed as having 2 distinct sides; .beta. strands 5-8 are shorter and have fewer H bonds, less regular side-chain alternation and greater twist than strands 1-4. The main-chain H bonds primarily link .beta. strand residues; side-chain to main-chain H bonds are extensively involved in the formation of tight turns, which form a major structural element of the 3 loops. The largest loop includes both a disulfide region and a Zn-liganding region, each of which resembles 1 of the other 2 loops in overall structure. The 2nd largest loop includes a short section of .alpha. helix. The smallest loop forms a Greek key connection across 1 end of the .beta. barrel. The single disulfide bond, which forms a left-handed spiral, covalently joins the largest loop to the beginning of .beta. strand 8. Symmetrically related .beta. bulge pairs fold the 2 large loops back against the external surface of the .beta. barrel to surround the active channel. The active site Cu(II) and Zn(II) lie 6.3 .ANG. apart at the bottom of this long channel; the Zn is buried, while the Cu is solvent-accessible. The side-chain of His61 forms a bridge between the Cu and Zn and is coplanar with them within the current accuracy of the data. The Cu ligands ND1 of His44 and NE2 of His46, -61 and -118 show an uneven tetrahedral distortion from a square plane. The Cu has a 5th axial coordination position exposed to solvent. Zn ligands ND1 of His61, -69 and -78 and OD1 of Asp81 show tetrahedral geometry with a strong distortion toward a trigonal pyramid having the buried Asp81 at the apex. Both the side-chains and main-chains of the metal-liganding residues are stabilized in their orientation by a complex network of H bonds.
