ABSTRACT:
Gene sequences of superoxide dismutase of Aquifex pyrophilus which is one of hyperthermophile microorganism and protein expressed therefrom are provided, wherein the protein is used as a necessary medicament in treatment of inflammation, disease of autoimmunization, chromosome lesion and the like, and particularly, A. pyrophilus is a hyperthermophile which can grow at the optimum temperature of 85.degree. C., and thus the superoxide dismutase of A. pyrophilus has a higher thermal stability than other organisms, resulting in further broad applications in the pharmaceutical field.
