Disulfide Scrambling in Superoxide Dismutase 1 Reduces Its Cytotoxic Effect in Cultured Cells and Promotes Protein Aggregation

Mutations in the gene coding for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are associated with familiar forms of the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These mutations are believed to result in a “gain of toxic function”, leading to neuronal degeneration. The exact mechanism is still...
