Abstract

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) act as a primary defence against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by converting superoxide anion radicals (O2-) into molecular oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Members of this enzyme family include CuZnSODs, MnSODs, FeSODs, and NiSODs, depending on the nature of the cofactor that is required for proper activity. Most eukaryotes, including yeast, possess CuZnSOD and MnSOD. This protocol aims at assessing the activity of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae MnSOD Sod2p from cellular extracts using nitroblue tetrazolium staining. This method can be used to estimate the cellular bioavailability of Mn2+ as well as to evaluate the redox state of the cell.

Background

SODs are defined as metal-containing antioxidant enzymes that reduce harmful free radicals of oxygen formed during normal aerobic metabolism to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. These enzymes are classified based on the metal required as cofactor for proper enzymatic activity: CuZnSODs, MnSODs, FeSODs, and NiSODs. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there are two SODs: the CuZn-Sod1p and the Mn-Sod2p (Abreu and Cabelli, 2010). This protocol focuses on the determination of the enzymatic activity of the Mn-Sod2p, found in the yeast mitochondrial matrix. In this protocol, activity of Sod2p is visualized through nitroblue tetrazolium staining. According to this method, the excitation of riboflavin by light, catalyzed by tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED), generates superoxide radicals, which convert the yellow nitroblue tetrazolium into blue formazan. In the regions in which Sod2p is present, the superoxide radicals are rapidly removed and formazan formation is prevented. Sod2p is thereby revealed in clear bands on a blue background (Packer, 2002). The method described here includes inhibition of the CuZn-Sod1p by potassium cyanide and thereby enables to determine specifically for the enzymatic activity of the Mn-Sod2p. Apart from providing a method to quickly determine the enzymatic activity of Sod2p, this protocol can be used to correlate the activity of the mitochondrial Sod2p to the bioavailability of manganese cations required for proper activity, a decreased manganese content in the close vicinity of Sod2p resulting in a lower enzymatic activity (Thines et al., 2018). Besides, due to the implication of both Sod2p and manganese cations in resistance against oxidative stress, this protocol can be used to assess the redox state of yeast cells, a decreased enzymatic activity reflecting a reduced ability of the cell to neutralize free radicals.
