Evolutionary studies on uricases of fungal endosymbionts of aphids and planthoppers.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 2000

Hongoh Y, Ishikawa H

Abstract excerpt

Aphids belonging to the three genera Tuberaphis, Glyphinaphis, and Cerataphis contain extracellular fungal symbionts that resemble endocellular yeast-like symbionts of planthoppers. Whereas the symbiont of planthoppers has a uricase (urate oxidase; EC 1.7.3.3) and recycles uric acid that the host stores, no uric acid was found in Tuberaphis styraci, and its fungal symbiont did not exhibit the uricase activity....
