A model of the Drosophila melanogaster glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase-encoding gene.
We have sequenced the Drosophila melanogaster gene encoding the mitochondrial (mt) enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (GPO; EC 1.1.99.5) that is involved in flight and alcohol metabolism. Available data suggests a simple model for this gene that includes four exons. Exon I contains a mt import signal, exon II, a transmembrane segment and an FAD-binding site, and exon IV, an iron-sulfur centre.
