M. bryantii contains a single electrophoretically discernible superoxide dismutase, which constitutes 0.4% of the extractable protein. This enzyme was purified to electrophoretic and ultracentrifugal homogeneity. It appears to be a tetramer. The subunits were tenaciously, but noncovalently bonded and were of identical size. The MW of the enzyme was 91,000 .+-. 2000. The specific activity of this enzyme was identical to that previously noted for the corresponding enzyme from Escherichia coli. The enzyme contained 2.7 atoms of Fe, 1.7 atoms of Zn, and < 0.2 atoms Mn per tetramer. Its amino acid composition placed this enzyme with the other Mn- and Fe-containing superoxide dismutases. The M. bryantii enzyme was also similar to previously described Fe-containing superoxide dismutases in its optical and EPR spectra and in its susceptibility to inactivation by H2O2. The M. bryantii enzyme was inhibited by N3-, but was less sensitive towards this inhibitor than other Fe-containing superoxide dismutases.
