Peroxisomes carry out various oxidative reactions that are tightly regulated to adapt to the
changing needs of the cell and varying external environments. Accordingly, they are …

Fatty acid degradation in most organisms occurs primarily via the β-oxidation cycle. In
mammals, β-oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, whereas plants and …

Peroxisomal fatty acid degradation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires an array
of β-oxidation enzyme activities as well as a set of auxiliary activities to provide the β …

Lipid droplets (LDs) and peroxisomes are central players in cellular lipid homeostasis: some
of their main functions are to control the metabolic flux and availability of fatty acids (LDs and …

The importance of peroxisomes in lipid metabolism is now well established and
peroxisomes contain approximately 60 enzymes involved in these lipid metabolic pathways …

Peroxisomes are nearly ubiquitous organelles involved in a number of metabolic pathways
that vary between organisms and tissues. A common metabolic function in mammals is the …

Unicellular organisms such as yeast constantly monitor their environment and respond to
nutritional cues. Rapid adaptation to ambient changes may include modification and …

An ideal starting point for any research study of filamentous fungi.• Incorporates the latest
findings from such disciplines as physiology, taxonomy, genomics, molecular biology and …

Yeast and filamentous fungi are important model organisms in microbody research. The
value of these organisms as models for higher eukaryotes is underscored by the observation …

The NPY1 nudix hydrolase gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been cloned and shown
to encode a diphosphatase (pyrophosphatase) with NADH as the preferred substrate, giving …
