CuZn SOD

Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are the first line of defense against reactive oxygen species when cells become stressed. This makes them important antioxidants in the cell that is responsible for converting superoxide anion radicals into hydrogen peroxide, which can be further converted into water. (Alscher et al., 2002) There are different types of SODs in the cell, but this one is known as copper-zinc SOD (CuZn-SOD) that resides in the cytosol, chloroplast, and extracellular space. This gene was taken from BBa_K1456003 by iGEM14_ATOMS-Turkiye and was codon optimized for Chlamydomonas. As such, this gene is characterized in Chlamydomonas and should be used in Chlamydomonas or should be optimized for the specific species that is to be used.
