Gene symbol: sod-1
Gene description: Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn]
Locus tag: CELE_C15F1.7
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00004930
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables copper ion binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and superoxide dismutase activity. Involved in several processes, including age-dependent response to oxidative stress; regulation of brood size; and removal of superoxide radicals. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including somatic gonad and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Down syndrome; artery disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

We found that guanylyl cyclases GCY-5 and GCY-22 and neuropeptide receptor NPR-1 act antagonistically to regulate SOD-1 expression in the gustatory neuron ASER.
Title: Neuron-specific regulation of superoxide dismutase amid pathogen-induced gut dysbiosis.
These data suggest that SOD1 mutants are removed from the nucleus by CRM1 as a defense mechanism against proteotoxicity of misfolded SOD1 in the nucleus.
Title: Nuclear export of misfolded SOD1 mediated by a normally buried NES-like sequence reduces proteotoxicity in the nucleus.
a post-translational modification to the inactive enzyme during hypoxia
Title: Post-translational modification of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase under anaerobic conditions.
this suggests that the activity of SOD-1, which so far has been thought to act mainly in cytoplasm, helps to control the detoxification of *O2- also in the mitochondria.
Title: SOD-1 deletions in Caenorhabditis elegans alter the localization of intracellular reactive oxygen species and show molecular compensation.
SOD isoforms play no role in lifespan in ad lib or dietary restricted conditions, but mutational inactivation of SOD-1 reduces life extension by cold.
Title: SOD isoforms play no role in lifespan in ad lib or dietary restricted conditions, but mutational inactivation of SOD-1 reduces life extension by cold.
the ALS-linked mutant SOD1 produces a locomotor defect associated with aggregation and synaptic dysfunction when expressed in neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans
Title: An ALS-linked mutant SOD1 produces a locomotor defect associated with aggregation and synaptic dysfunction when expressed in neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans.
although several long-lived mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans have increased SOD levels, this phenomenon does not correlate with life span or growth rate.
Title: A Measurable increase in oxidative damage due to reduction in superoxide detoxification fails to shorten the life span of long-lived mitochondrial mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans.
the C. elegans intracellular CuZn-SODs (wSOD-1 and wSOD-5) are not dependent on the copper chaperone CCS for activation
Title: Activation of CuZn superoxide dismutases from Caenorhabditis elegans does not require the copper chaperone CCS.
