Abstract
The subcellular location of the enzymes of purine breakdown in the yeast Candida famata, which grows on uric acid as sole carbon and nitrogen source, has been examined by subcellular fractionation methods. Uricase was confirmed as being peroxisomal, but the other three enzymes, allantoinase, allantoicase and ureidoglycollate lyase were shown to be cytosolic. In addition the peroxisomes harboured catalase and the key enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase.
