We sequenced and characterized PMP22 (22-kD p eroxisomal m embrane p rotein) from
Arabidopsis, which shares 28% to 30% amino acid identity and 55% to 57% similarity to two …

Using a combination of in vivo and in vitro assays, we characterized the sorting pathway and
molecular targeting signal for the Arabidopsis 22-kD peroxisome membrane protein …

Peroxisomes play key roles in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and plant development. A
better understanding of these important functions will be achieved with a more complete …

In higher plants, peroxisomes accomplish a variety of physiological functions such as lipid
catabolism, photorespiration and hormone biosynthesis. Recently, many factors regulating …

In order to clarify the peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs), we characterized one of the
major PMPs, PMP38. The deduced amino acid sequence for its cDNA in Arabidopsis …

β-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle and the glycolate pathway for photorespiration. Recent
molecular biological studies have revealed that most of these enzymes possess either one …

Peroxisome proliferation occurs through enlargement, elongation and division of pre-
existing peroxisomes. In the Arabidopsis apem mutant, apem3, peroxisomes are …

Peroxisomes in higher plant cells are known to differentiate in function depending on the cell
type. Because of the functional differentiation, plant peroxisomes are subdivided into several …

It is well known that peroxisomal matrix proteins contain one of two targeting signals, PTS1
and PTS2. We comprehensively surveyed genes related to peroxisomal function and …

Genetic evidence suggests that plant peroxisomes are the site of fatty acid β-oxidation and
conversion of the endogenous auxin indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to the active hormone indole …
