Saccharomyces cerevisiae acyl-CoA oxidase follows a novel, non-PTS1, import pathway into peroxisomes that is dependent on Pex5p.
The peroxisomal protein acyl-CoA oxidase (Pox1p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacks either of the two well characterized peroxisomal targeting sequences known as PTS1 and PTS2. Here we demonstrate that peroxisomal import of Pox1p is nevertheless dependent on binding to Pex5p, the PTS1 import receptor. The interaction between Pex5p and Pox1p, however, involves novel contact sites in both proteins...
متن کاملImport of alcohol oxidase into peroxisomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is unable to grow on methanol because it lacks the enzymes required for its metabolism. To study the possibility of whether or not the methanol oxidation pathway of Hansenula polymorpha can be transferred to S. cerevisiae, the gene coding for alcohol oxidase, a peroxisomal homo-octameric flavoprotein, was introduced into S. cerevisiae. Transformed cells contain varying ...
متن کاملPex8p, an intraperoxisomal peroxin of Saccharomyces cerevisiae required for protein transport into peroxisomes binds the PTS1 receptor pex5p.
We report the characterization of ScPex8p, which is essential for peroxisomal biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells lacking Pex8p are characterized by the presence of peroxisomal membrane ghosts and mislocalization of peroxisomal matrix proteins of the PTS1 and PTS2 variety to the cytosol. Pex8p is tightly associated with the lumenal face of the peroxisomal membrane. Consistent with its...
متن کاملImport of the carboxy-terminal portion of acyl-CoA oxidase into peroxisomes of Candida tropicalis
We report the sequence of a cDNA clone that codes for the carboxy-terminal portion of the peroxisomal protein, acyl-CoA oxidase, from the yeast, Candida tropicalis. This is a newly identified acyl-CoA oxidase sequence, most likely a second allele of POX4. The cDNA clone was expressed by in vitro transcription followed by translation. The major product, a 43-kD protein, associated with isolated ...
متن کاملAn isoform of pex5p, the human PTS1 receptor, is required for the import of PTS2 proteins into peroxisomes.
Mutations in the peroxisome targeting signal (PTS) 1 receptor gene, PEX5 , are responsible for complementation group (CG) 2 of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD). Of the two reported patients in this CG, cells from PBD018 (homozygous for the missense mutation N489K) are defective in the import of PTS1 proteins into peroxisomes, as expected. However, cells from PBD005 (homozygous for the ...
