== Disease ==
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SODC_HUMAN SODC_HUMAN]] Defects in SOD1 are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 (ALS1) [MIM:[https://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 ==
The X-ray crystal structure of a human copper/zinc superoxide dismutase mutant (G37R CuZnSOD) found in some patients with the inherited form of Lou Gehrig's disease (FALS) has been determined to 1.9 angstroms resolution. The two SOD subunits have distinct environments in the crystal and are different in structure at their copper binding sites. One subunit (subunit[intact]) shows a four-coordinate ligand geometry of the copper ion, whereas the other subunit (subunit[broken]) shows a three-coordinate geometry of the copper ion. Also, subunit(intact) displays higher atomic displacement parameters for backbone atoms ((B) = 30 +/- 10 angstroms2) than subunit(broken) ((B) = 24 +/- 11 angstroms2). This structure is the first CuZnSOD to show large differences between the two subunits. Factors that may contribute to these differences are discussed and a possible link of a looser structure to FALS is suggested.
