  • Title: Characterization of a pollination-related cDNA from Phalaenopsis encoding a protein which is homologous to human peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase.
    Author: Do YY, Huang PL.
    Journal: Arch Biochem Biophys; 1997 Aug 15; 344(2):295-300. PubMed ID: 9264542.
    Abstract:
    The first putative plant acyl-CoA oxidase cDNA has been isolated from a Phalaenopsis cDNA library constructed by poly(A)+ RNA extracted from petals 1 day after pollination. This cDNA, pOACO31, contains a 2100-bp open reading frame which encodes a polypeptide named PACO1 of 699 amino acids. The predicted isoelectric point of PACO1 is 8.74 and the molecular weight is 78,032 Da, similar to that of a monomer of predicted plant acyl-CoA oxidase. Southern blot analysis indicated that this gene occurs in one copy or a low number of copies per haploid genome. When compared with sequences in databases, PACO1 revealed significant similarity only to peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase particularly within 13 conserved regions and a putative FMN-binding site.
