A main characteristic of the eucaryotic cell is the compartmentalization of different metabolic
processes into membrane‐enclosed organelles. Each organelle contains a characteristic set …

Recent advances in the study of plant peroxisomes are shedding new light on the
importance of these organelles for plant development, and are revealing similarities and …

Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix
proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post …

A hybrid protein in which the immunoglobulin G‐binding domain of Staphylococcus aureus
protein A replaced the N‐terminal 43 amino acids of glycolate oxidase (a peroxisomal …

The purposes of this study are to develop an in vivo cell system that is suitable for the
immunofluorescent detection of transiently expressed proteins targeted to plant peroxisomes …

Peroxisomes are cell organelles bounded by a single membrane with a basically oxidative
metabolism. Peroxisomes house catalase and H2O2‐producing flavin‐oxidases as the main …

Plant peroxisomes house conserved functions such as β-oxidation and hydrogen peroxide
decomposition along with specialized tasks including hormone metabolism and …

The evidence accumulated to date indicates that protein compartmentalization is mediated
through specific regions of proteins destined for translocation into subcellular organelles …

Peroxisomes lack their own genetic material and must therefore import proteins encoded by
genes in the nucleus. Amino acids within these proteins serve as targeting signals: they …

Peroxisome biogenesis requires that proteins be transported from their site of synthesis in
the cytoplasm to their final location in the peroxisome matrix or membrane. Glyoxysomes are …
