Protein translocation across the peroxisomal membrane requires the concerted action of
numerous peroxins. One central component of this machinery is Pex5p, the cycling receptor …

The peroxisomal protein import machinery plays a central role in the assembly of this
organelle in all eukaryotes. Genes encoding components of this machinery, termed peroxins …

Although many of the proteins involved in the biogenesis of the mammalian peroxisome
have already been identified, our knowledge of the architecture of all this machinery is still …

Pex11 proteins are involved in membrane elongation and division processes associated
with the multiplication of peroxisomes. Human Pex11pβ has recently been linked to a new …

We characterize the peroxin PpPex20p from Pichia pastoris and show its requirement for
translocation of PTS2 cargoes into peroxisomes. PpPex20p docks at the peroxisomal …

Peroxisomal matrix proteins are synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes and transported to the
organelle by shuttling receptors. Matrix proteins containing a type 1 signal are carried to the …

Peroxin 3 (Pex3p) has been identified and characterized as a peroxisomal membrane
protein in yeasts and mammals. We identified two putative homologs in Arabidopsis …

PEX5 functions as an import receptor for proteins with the type-1 peroxisomal targeting
signal (PTS1). Although PEX5 is not involved in the import of PTS2-targeted proteins in …

Pichia pastoris (Pp) Pex8p, the only known intraperoxisomal peroxin at steady state, is
targeted to peroxisomes by either the peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS) type 1 or PTS2 …

Two AAA peroxins, Pex1p and Pex6p, are encoded by PEX1 and PEX6, the causal genes
for peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 1 (CG1) and CG4 …
