A lambda gt11 cDNA expression library was constructed from size-fractionated poly(A)-rich RNA of cultured pumpkin cells. A full-length cDNA clone for ascorbate oxidase mRNA was selected from the library by screening with synthetic oligonucleotides designed from the amino-terminal sequence of ascorbate oxidase protein. The identity of the clone was confirmed by comparing the amino acid sequence deduced by nucleotide sequence analysis with that determined for the amino-terminal sequence of pumpkin ascorbate oxidase. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert was found to contain an open reading frame of 579 codons corresponding to a signal peptide of 30 amino acids and the mature 549-residue ascorbate oxidase. Furthermore, it was found that the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert contained four potential N-glycosylation sites and copper-binding amino acid residues located in four regions where the sequence was identical or nearly identical to those of the other known blue multicopper oxidases Neurospora crassa laccase and human ceruloplasmin.
