Abstract
The 2.8-kb sequence of cDNA encoding southeastern diamondback rattlesn ake venom L-amino acid oxidase was determined. A translated single ope n reading frame revealed a 58.7-kDa polypeptide containing a signal se quence and FAD binding motif. The protein similarity search and analys is showed that the snake L-amino acid oxidase possesses the highest de gree of homology (37% of identity) with a protein encoded by the mouse B cell interleukin 4-induced Fig1 gene.
