Mutations in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase cause the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Many of the mutant proteins have increased turnover in vivo and decreased thermal stability. Here we show that purified, metal-free superoxide dismutases are degraded in vitro by purified 20 S proteasome in the absence of ATP and without ubiquitinylation, whereas their metal-bound counterparts are not. The rate of degradation by the proteasome varied among the mutants studied, and the rate correlated with the in vivo half-life. The monomeric forms of both mutant and wild-type superoxide dismutase are particularly susceptible to degradation by the proteasome. Exposure of hydrophobic regions as a consequence of decreased thermal stability may allow the proteasome to recognize these molecules as non-native.
