Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for SUOX(NM_000456.2) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
Sulfite oxidase is a homodimeric protein localized to the intermembrane space of mitochondria. Each subunit contains a heme domain and a molybdopterin-binding domain. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate, the final reaction in the oxidative degradation of the sulfur amino acids cysteine and methionine. Sulfite oxidase deficiency results in neurological abnormalities which are often fatal at an early age. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding identical proteins.

Gene References into function
- role of conserved tyrosine 343 in intramolecular electron transfer in this enzyme
- Sulfite oxidase gene expression in brain and in other tissues.
- comparison of this structure with other b(5)-type cytochromes reveals distinct structural features present in the sulfite oxidase b(5) domain which promote optimal electron transport between the Moco of sulfite oxidase and the heme of cytochrome c
- To further assess the role of Arg 160 in human SO, intramolecular electron transfer rates between the reduced heme and oxidized molybdenum centers in the wild type, R160Q, and R160K human SO forms were investigated by laser flash photolysis
- the Tyr(343) residue is important for both substrate binding and oxidation of sulfite by sulfite oxidase
- mutation in SUOX gene in sulfite oxidase deficiency
- mutations to charged residues at the equivalent sites most likely cause crucial global or localized structural changes, and expose an alternative docking site that may compete with the Mo domain for docking of the heme
- Analysis of recombinant G473D sulfite oxidase indicated that it is severely impaired both in the ability to bind sulfite and in catalysis, with a second-order rate constant 5 orders of magnitude lower than that of the wild type.
- Magnetic resonance imaging and MR spectroscopy measurements may help differentiate isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency from hypoxic-ischemic condition in patients in whom this diagnosis is not clinically suspected.
- analysis of protein-protein interaction of sulfite oxidase and cytochrome c catalyzing oxidation of sulfite
- EPR study of the Mo(V) center of the pathogenic R160Q mutant confirms the presence of three distinct species whose relative abundances depend upon pH.
- the activity of molybdoenzymes, such as sulfite oxidase, is inhibited by high concentrations of heavy metals in the cell
