SUMMARY: The derepression and localization of the glyoxylate cycle enzymes in Coprinus lagopus (sensu Buller) have been studied. Differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation of extracts indicated a particulate localization for isocitrate lyase (EC. 4.1.3.1) and malate synthase (EC. 4.1.3.2). The particle is distinct from, and less dense than, the mitochondrion and is considered to be a glyoxysome.
