Peroxisomes are highly dynamic intracellular organelles involved in a variety of metabolic
functions essential for the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids, d-amino acids, and many …

Lipid droplets (LDs) and peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles with central roles in
eukaryotic cells. Although the mechanisms involved in biogenesis of these organelles …

PEX genes encode proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation. Using a
comparative genomics approach, we clarify the evolutionary relationships between the 37 …

Understanding organelle biogenesis is a central focus of cell biology. Whereas some are
generated from existing organelles, others can be generated de novo. Most de novo …

Peroxisomes are conserved organelles of eukaryotic cells with important roles in cellular
metabolism, human health, redox homeostasis, as well as intracellular metabolite transfer …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived lipid storage organelles
uniquely encapsulated by phospholipid monolayers. LD membrane proteins are embedded …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains three conserved reticulon and reticulon-like proteins
that help maintain ER structure by stabilizing high membrane curvature in ER tubules and …

The peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP) Pex3 and its cytosolic interaction partner Pex19
have been implicated in peroxisomal membrane biogenesis. Although these peroxins have …

Dynamic control of peroxisome proliferation is integral to the peroxisome's many functions.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a source of preperoxisomal vesicles (PPVs) that …
