    Abstract:
    The deficiency or wrong combination of metal ions in Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1), is regarded as one of the main factors causing the aggregation of SOD1 and then inducing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A ligands-targets screening process based on native electrospray ionization ion mobility mass spectrometry (ESI-IMS-MS) was established in this study. Four glycosides including daidzin, sophoricoside, glycitin, and genistin were screened out from seven soybean isoflavone compounds and were found to interact with zinc-deficient or metal-free SOD1. The structure and conformation stability of metal-free and zinc-deficient SOD1 and their complexes with the four glycosides was investigated by collision-induced dissociation (CID) and collision-induced unfolding (CIU). The four glycosides could strongly bind to the metal-free and copper recombined SOD1 and enhance the folding stability of these proteins. Additionally, the ThT fluorescence assay showed that these glycosides could inhibit the toxic aggregation of the zinc-deficient or metal-free SOD1. The competitive interaction experiments together with molecular docking indicate that glycitin, which showed the best stabilizing effects, binds with SOD1 between β-sheet 6 and loop IV. In short, this study provides good insight into the relationship between inhibitors and different SOD1s.
