Here we describe the identification of the targeting sequence of peroxisomal amine oxidase (AMO) of H. polymorpha. Deletion analysis revealed that essential targeting information is located within the extreme N-terminal 16 amino acids. Moreover, this sequence can direct a reporter protein to the peroxisomal matrix of H. polymorpha. The N-terminal 16 amino acids of AMO contain a sequence with strong homology to the conserved PTS2 sequence. Therefore, AMO is considered to be a PTS2 protein.
