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

OSTI ID:6216782
Ureidoglycolate lyase was found only in the peroxisomes in urate-induced Candida tropicalis. The enzyme was markedly activated by the bivalent metal ions Mn/sup 2 +/, Fe/sup 2 +/, and Ni/sup 2 +/. The activation by Mn/sup 2 +/ was suggested to be the result of its binding to the apoenzyme.
