Isolation of several cDNAs encoding yeast peroxisomal enzymes. 1987

M Ueda, and H Okada, and T Hishida, and Y Teranishi, and A Tanaka

Several candidate clones carrying partial cDNAs for yeast peroxisomal enzymes, such as catalase, carnitine acetyltransferase, isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and acyl-CoA oxidase, were efficiently isolated at a single plating from a phage lambda gt11 recombinant cDNA library prepared with poly(A)-rich RNA from an n-alkane-grown yeast, Candida tropicalis, with a mixture of antibodies against the respective purified enzymes. Among them, one candidate clone carrying partial cDNA for catalase was subcloned and subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis. We succeeded in determining that the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide analysis included the sequences derived from the two peptide fragments obtained from the purified enzyme.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008830 Microbodies Electron-dense cytoplasmic particles bounded by a single membrane, such as PEROXISOMES; GLYOXYSOMES; and glycosomes. Glycosomes,Glycosome,Microbody
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D002175 Candida A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).

D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004274 DNA, Recombinant Biologically active DNA which has been formed by the in vitro joining of segments of DNA from different sources. It includes the recombination joint or edge of a heteroduplex region where two recombining DNA molecules are connected.

D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.
