Summary: Predicted to enable manganese ion binding activity and superoxide dismutase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; paracrine signaling; and positive regulation of mitophagy. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); cardiomyopathy (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and optic nerve disease (multiple). Orthologous to human SOD2 (superoxide dismutase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Depletion of superoxide dismutases promotes muscular and neuronal ROS accumulation which may have a significant effect on age-dependent impairment of the Drosophila adults.
Title: A correlation of reactive oxygen species accumulation by depletion of superoxide dismutases with age-dependent impairment in the nervous system and muscles of Drosophila adults.
Paraquat exposure, but not Sod2 knockdown, resulted in increased carbonylated protein relative abundance.
Title: Paraquat exposure and Sod2 knockdown have dissimilar impacts on the Drosophila melanogaster carbonylated protein proteome.
The functional SOD1 and SOD2 genes knockout and their overexpression in neurons and glial tissue increase the sensitivity of Drosophila melanogaster to oxidative stress conditions.
Title: [Influence of tissue-specific superoxide dismutase genes expression in brain cells on Drosophila melanogaster sensitivity to oxidative stress and viability].
ocytes lacking maternal SOD2 protein develop into adults just like normal SOD2-containing oocytes suggesting that maternal SOD2-mediated protection against mitochondrial ROS is not essential for oocyte viability
Title: SOD2, the principal scavenger of mitochondrial superoxide, is dispensable for embryogenesis and imaginal tissue development but essential for adult survival.
knockdown in the musculature has whole-organism consequences
Title: Sod2 knockdown in the musculature has whole-organism consequences in Drosophila.
Muscles appear to be more sensitive to superoxide attack relative to the neurons and such overt phenotypes observed in SOD2-deficient animals can be directly attributed to the muscle.
Title: Mitochondrial superoxide radicals differentially affect muscle activity and neural function.
Data show that the decline of several functional measures of aging occurs, in an accelerated fashion, in Sod2 mutants.
Title: Multiple measures of functionality exhibit progressive decline in a parallel, stochastic fashion in Drosophila Sod2 null mutants.
switching moribund SOD2-deficient adults from normoxia into hypoxia arrests premature mortality and endows the survivors with a near-normal life
Title: Hypoxia rescues early mortality conferred by superoxide dismutase deficiency.
Disruption of the protective effects of SOD2 on mitochondria manifests as profound changes in behavioral and demographic aging as well as exacerbated age-related pathology in the nervous system.
Title: Reduced mitochondrial SOD displays mortality characteristics reminiscent of natural aging.
SOD1 and SOD2 provide independent protection to compartment-specific protein iron-sulfur clusters against attack by superoxide generated under oxidative stress
Title: Compartment-specific protection of iron-sulfur proteins by superoxide dismutase.
