The iron superoxide dismutase found in the pathogenic amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii (AcFeSOD) may play essential roles in the survival of the parasite, not only by protecting it from endogenous oxidative stress but also by detoxifying oxidative killing of the parasite by host immune effector cells. The AcFeSOD protein was expressed in a stable form using an Escherichia coli expression system and was crystallized by the microbatch and hanging-drop vapour-diffusion methods. The structure was det ...[more]
