Genomic and cDNA fragments encoding the iron-sulfur protein (Ip) subunit of dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) have been cloned from the edible basidiomycetous fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus. The gene is interrupted by five introns and is predicted to encode a polypeptide of 268 amino acid residues. Sequence comparison with the Ip subunit from other species identified three conserved cysteine-rich clusters. One of these contains a critical histidine residue implicated in carboxin sensitivity in the heterobasidiomycete Ustilago maydis.
