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