Peroxisomal localization and activation by bivalent metal ions of ureidoglycolate lyase, the enzyme involved in urate degradation in Candida tropicalis

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Ureidoglycolate lyase (EC 4.3.2.3) was found only in the peroxisomes in urate-induced Candida tropicalis. The enzyme was markedly activated by the bivalent metal ions Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, and Ni²⁺. The activation by Mn²⁺ was suggested to be the result of its binding to the apoenzyme.
