Peroxisomes are independent organelles found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. Genetic
studies have identified more than 20 PEX genes that are required for peroxisome …

We have previously demonstrated that firefly luciferase can be imported into peroxisomes of
both insect and mammalian cells. To determine whether the process of protein transport into …

We previously isolated an Arabidopsis peroxisome‐deficient ped2 mutant by its resistance
to 2, 4‐dichlorophenoxybutyric acid. Here, we describe the isolation of a gene responsible …

Proteins destined for the peroxisomal matrix are synthesized in the cytosol, and imported
post‐translationally. It has been previously demonstrated that stably folded proteins are …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae pas3-mutants are described which conform the pas-phenotype
recently reported for the peroxisomal assembly mutants pas1-1 and pas2 (Erdmann, R., M …

We have isolated the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pex12–1 mutant from a screen to identify
mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis. The pex12Δ deletion strain fails to import …

We have purified peroxisomal membranes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae after induction of
peroxisomes in oleic acid-containing media. About 30 distinct proteins could be discerned …

Peroxisomal ascorbate peroxidase (APX)(EC 1.11. 1.11) was shown recently to sort through
a subdomain of the ER (peroxisomal endoplasmic reticulum; pER), and in certain cases …

Pex19p is required for the topogenesis of peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs). Here we
have demonstrated that Pex19p is also required for the peroxisomal targeting and stability of …

Most peroxisomal matrix proteins possess a carboxy-terminal tripeptide targeting signal,
termed peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 (PTS1), and follow a relatively well-characterized …
