• Background: Alcohol Oxidase (AOX) is a homooctameric flavoprotein consisting of eight identical subunits of ~74 kD, each containing a flavin adenine dinucleotide molecule (FAD) as a prosthetic group (van der Klei et al., 1991). The protein catalyzes the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide, the first step in the methanol utilization pathway of certain yeasts including Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, and Candida boidinii (van der Klei et al., 1991). AOX is normally localized in the matrix of single membrane-bound organelles called peroxisomes. During methanol growth, the peroxisomes also contain large amounts of dihydroxyacetone synthase, the first enzyme in the methanol assimilatory pathway, and catalase (CAT), which converts the hydrogen peroxide generated by oxidases such as AOX into water and oxygen (Veenhuis and Harder, 1991). As a result, peroxisomes, which are small and few in number in glucose-grown cells, are massively induced in methanol-grown cells (Veenhuis and Harder, 1991).
