Abstract excerpt
The uaZ gene of Aspergillus nidulans codes for a protein of 301 amino acids. The open reading frame is interrupted by two introns. A comparison with the open reading frames of 10 other urate oxidases reveals a number of scattered universally conserved residues and four clusters of high similarity. Two of these are of unknown function, and the other two are the putative sites for copper binding and the signal...
