== 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 ==
More than 90 point mutations in human CuZn superoxide dismutase lead to the development of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known also as motor neuron disease. A growing body of evidence suggests that a subset of mutations located close to the dimeric interface can lead to a major destabilization of the mutant enzymes. We have determined the crystal structures of the Ala4Val (A4V) and Ile113Thr (I113T) mutants to 1.9 and 1.6 A, respectively. In the A4V structure, small changes at the dimer interface result in a substantial reorientation of the two monomers. This effect is also seen in the case of the I113T crystal structure, but to a smaller extent. X-ray solution scattering data show that in the solution state, both of the mutants undergo a more pronounced conformational change compared with wild-type superoxide dismutase (SOD) than that observed in the A4V crystal structure. Shape reconstructions from the x-ray scattering data illustrate the nature of this destabilization. Comparison of these scattering data with those for bovine CuZn SOD measured at different temperatures shows that an analogous change in the scattering profile occurs for the bovine enzyme in the temperature range of 70-80 degrees C. These results demonstrate that the A4V and I113T mutants are substantially destabilized in comparison with wild-type SOD1, and it is possible that the pathogenic properties of this subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mutants are at least in part due to this destabilization.
