== Disease ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SODC_HUMAN SODC_HUMAN]] Defects in SOD1 are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 (ALS1) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/105400 105400]]. ALS1 is a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of cases leading to familial forms.<ref>PMID:12963370</ref> <ref>PMID:19741096</ref> <ref>PMID:8528216</ref> <ref>PMID:8682505</ref> <ref>PMID:9541385</ref> <ref>PMID:12754496</ref> <ref>PMID:15056757</ref> <ref>PMID:18378676</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:8446170</ref> <ref>PMID:8351519</ref> <ref>PMID:8179602</ref> <ref>PMID:7980516</ref> <ref>PMID:8069312</ref> <ref>PMID:7951252</ref> <ref>PMID:7881433</ref> <ref>PMID:7836951</ref> <ref>PMID:7997024</ref> <ref>PMID:7870076</ref> <ref>PMID:7887412</ref> <ref>PMID:7795609</ref> <ref>PMID:7655468</ref> <ref>PMID:7655469</ref> <ref>PMID:7655471</ref> <ref>PMID:7700376</ref> <ref>PMID:7647793</ref> <ref>PMID:7501156</ref> <ref>PMID:7496169</ref> <ref>PMID:8938700</ref> <ref>PMID:8907321</ref> <ref>PMID:8990014</ref> <ref>PMID:9101297</ref> <ref>PMID:9455977</ref> <ref>PMID:10732812</ref> <ref>PMID:9131652</ref> <ref>PMID:10400992</ref> <ref>PMID:10430435</ref> <ref>PMID:11535232</ref> <ref>PMID:11369193</ref> <ref>PMID:12402272</ref> <ref>PMID:12145308</ref> <ref>PMID:14506936</ref> <ref>PMID:18552350</ref> <ref>PMID:18301754</ref> <ref>PMID:21247266</ref> <ref>PMID:21220647</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Mutations in the SOD1 gene cause the autosomal dominant, neurodegenerative disorder familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). In spinal cord neurons of human FALS patients and in transgenic mice expressing these mutant proteins, aggregates containing FALS SOD1 are observed. Accumulation of SOD1 aggregates is believed to interfere with axonal transport, protein degradation and anti-apoptotic functions of the neuronal cellular machinery. Here we show that metal-deficient, pathogenic SOD1 mutant proteins crystallize in three different crystal forms, all of which reveal higher-order assemblies of aligned beta-sheets. Amyloid-like filaments and water-filled nanotubes arise through extensive interactions between loop and beta-barrel elements of neighboring mutant SOD1 molecules. In all cases, non-native conformational changes permit a gain of interaction between dimers that leads to higher-order arrays. Normal beta-sheet-containing proteins avoid such self-association by preventing their edge strands from making intermolecular interactions. Loss of this protection through conformational rearrangement in the metal-deficient enzyme could be a toxic property common to mutants of SOD1 linked to FALS.
