    The first complete amino acid sequence of a flavin-containing polyamine oxidase was solved by a combined approach of nucleotide and peptide sequence analysis. A cDNA of 1737 bp, isolated from maize seedlings by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and rapid amplification of cDNA ends strategies, was cloned and its sequence determined. This cDNA contains information for a polypeptide chain of 500 amino acids. Its amino-terminal sequence shows the typical features of secretion signal peptides. The primary structure of the mature protein was independently confirmed by extensive amino acid sequencing. Structural relationships with flavin-containing monoamine oxidases are also discussed.
