초록

The heterologous expression of sodN gene from Streptomyces seoulensis in Streptomyces lividans together with the gel filtration and sedimentation equilibrim data indicated that the quaternary structure of NiSOD is homohexamer, which is novel among SODs, not the previously reported homotetramer. The EPR spectrum of $^{61}$ Ni (I = 3/2) substituted NiSOD showed a clear resolved hyperfine structure at g=2.016, unambiguously identifying that the EPR signal from NiSOD is due to Ni.(omitted)
