Abstract
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.

Comments

FlyBase curator comment: this paper describes a gene model for the clone referenced in accession M96581, which is now known to correspond to Iap2. However, at the time the authors wrongly thought that the sequence corresponded to a glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase gene, so they refer to the gene as Gpo. For more details, see the personal communication from R.J. MacIntyre in the Related Publications section.
