Assigns the superoxide dismutase reaction 2 superoxide + 2 H(+) = H2O2 + O2 (RHEA:20696, EC 1.15.1.1) through 23 alternative condition sets. Sets 1 and 3 to 8 and the FunFams of superfamilies 1.10.287.990 and 3.55.40.20 identify iron/manganese superoxide dismutases; set 2 and the FunFams of superfamily 2.60.40.200 identify copper/zinc superoxide dismutases. Most sets carry a taxon condition.
Condition-set counts describe the sets recorded in this review, which may omit the full rule.

All 23 live condition sets were checked against Swiss-Prot. Each has at least two reviewed matches (2 to 54 per set) and every reviewed match of every set carries EC 1.15.1.1. Checked against Swiss-Prot by UniProtKB query on 2026-11-09; TrEMBL matches were counted but not inspected.
Every live condition set is supported by curated Swiss-Prot annotation: no reviewed match of any of the 23 sets lacks EC 1.15.1.1.
Swiss-Prot matches with EC 1.15.1.1, sets 1 to 23: 54/54, 42/42, 29/29, 21/21, 16/16, 13/13, 7/7, 5/5, 54/54, 30/30, 25/25, 22/22, 15/15, 14/14, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 3/3, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2. Rule statistics: 19126 unreviewed proteins.

The taxon conditions go with precise sets. The copper/zinc binding domain alone is not specific: of 195 Swiss-Prot proteins with IPR001424, 12 lack EC 1.15.1.1, and IPR024134 is named "Superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn)/superoxide dismutase copper chaperone". The live sets that use copper/zinc signatures match only EC 1.15.1.1 proteins in Swiss-Prot (set 2: 42 of 42).

confidence: 0.85
corrections:
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: The rule needs modification because its 24 condition sets exceed a manageable threshold of 12
and make it intractable to validate.
correction: The number of condition sets says nothing about whether the annotations are right. Checked set by
set, every one is supported.
error_type: SIZE_AS_EVIDENCE
evidence:
- 'Live rule: 23 condition sets (2026-11-09)'
- Swiss-Prot matches of each set all carry EC 1.15.1.1 (per-set counts in annotation_assessments)
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: Condition set 3 (IPR019831 with IPR036324, Metazoa) is the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase of
animals.
correction: Both entries are iron/manganese signatures, so set 3 identifies the mitochondrial Mn superoxide dismutase
(e.g. human SOD2, P04179).
error_type: WRONG_IDENTIFIER_MEANING
evidence:
- 'InterPro IPR019831: Manganese/iron superoxide dismutase, N-terminal (domain)'
- 'InterPro IPR036324: Manganese/iron superoxide dismutase, N-terminal domain superfamily'
- Swiss-Prot matches of CS3 include P04179 (SOD2, human)
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: IPR001189 is the manganese/iron superoxide dismutase alpha-hairpin domain and IPR050265 its C-terminal
domain; IPR019832 and IPR036314 are an iron/manganese family and its alpha-hairpin domain.
correction: These labels were wrong; the official names are given in evidence.
error_type: WRONG_IDENTIFIER_MEANING
evidence:

- 'InterPro IPR019832: Manganese/iron superoxide dismutase, C-terminal (domain)'
- 'InterPro IPR036314: Manganese/iron superoxide dismutase, C-terminal domain superfamily'
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: A separate copper/zinc set for Endopterygota is redundant with the broader Metazoa set.
correction: The Metazoa set is an iron/manganese set, so it could not have made a copper/zinc set redundant. The
live rule has no Endopterygota set.
error_type: STALE_RULE_VERSION
evidence:
- 'Live rule (2026-11-09): no condition with taxon Endopterygota; CS3 = IPR019831 AND IPR036324 AND Metazoa'
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: Broader taxonomic groups should replace the specific lineages, because the subdivision has no
biological justification.
correction: No check of precision under broader taxa was made. The copper/zinc domain also occurs in proteins
without superoxide dismutase activity, so widening is not shown to be safe.
