Disease relevance of sodB

The sodB gene of a heterocystous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 was cloned and sequenced [1].
Sequence comparison among SodB from cyanobacteria and chloroplasts revealed that the sodB gene indeed encodes an iron-Sod [1].
The iron superoxide dismutase from the filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc PCC 7120. Localization, overexpression, and biochemical characterization [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of sodB

Molecular cloning and sequencing of the sodB gene from a heterocystous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 [1].
Northern blot analysis showed that the sodB gene of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is transcribed as a single gene and its expression was up-regulated when the cells were subjected to a shift from a nitrogen repletion condition to a nitrogen depletion condition [1].
