A cDNA encoding Pyridoxine 5′‐phosphate oxidase (PNPO) from Bombyx mori was cloned and characterized (GenBank accession number: DQ452398). The cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 257 amino acid residues. The recombinant enzyme purified from Escherichia coli exhibited maximal activity at pH 9.0, and the Km values for the substrates of pyridoxine 5′‐phosphate and pyridoxamine 5′‐phosphate were determined as 0.65 and 1.15 µmol/l. It was found that B. mori PNPO shares 51.44% homology with humans, but several function‐related, key amino acid residues in B. mori PNPO are different from the human and E. Coli gene. B. mori has a single copy of the PNPO gene, which spans a 3.5 kb region and contains five exons and four introns. B. mori PNPO is a homodimer, with each monomer containing nine antiparallel β‐strands and five α‐helical segments. The secondary structure was deduced from computational study.
