چکیده

Peroxisomal targeting signals (PTSs) are recognized by predominantly cytosolic receptors, Pex5p and Pex7p. The fate of these PTS receptors following their interactions on the peroxisomal membrane with components of docking and putative translocation complexes is unknown. Using both novel and multiple experimental approaches, we show that human Pex5p does not just bind cargo and deliver it to the peroxisome membrane, but participates in multiple rounds of entry into the peroxisome matrix and export to the cytosol independent of the PTS2 import pathway. This unusual shuttling mechanism for the PTS1 receptor distinguishes protein import into peroxisomes from that into most other organelles, with the exception of the nucleus.

The cycling peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 - receptor Pex5p: reaching the circle’s end with ubiquitin

Peroxisomes are single-membrane bound organelles that are found nearly ubiquitiously in eukaryotic cells. Their main task is the breakdown of fatty acids by beta-oxidation and the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. However, these so called “multi-purpose organelles” also display several other metabolic functions, which can differ between species, tissues or growth conditions of the cells. Thi...

Cysteine-specific ubiquitination protects the peroxisomal import receptor Pex5p against proteasomal degradation

Peroxisomal matrix protein import is mediated by dynamic import receptors, which cycle between the peroxisomal membrane and the cytosol. Proteins with a type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) are bound by the import receptor Pex5p in the cytosol and guided to the peroxisomal membrane. After cargo translocation into the peroxisomal matrix, the receptor is released from the membrane back to t...

Ubiquitination of mammalian Pex5p, the peroxisomal import receptor.

Protein translocation across the peroxisomal membrane requires the concerted action of numerous peroxins. One central component of this machinery is Pex5p, the cycling receptor for matrix proteins. Pex5p recognizes newly synthesized proteins in the cytosol and promotes their translocation across the peroxisomal membrane. After this translocation step, Pex5p is recycled back into the cytosol to ...

Pex8p, 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...

The N-terminal half of the peroxisomal cycling receptor Pex5p is a natively unfolded domain.

Targeting of most newly synthesised peroxisomal matrix proteins to the organelle requires Pex5p, the so-called PTS1 receptor. According to current models of peroxisomal biogenesis, Pex5p interacts with these proteins in the cytosol, transports them to the peroxisomal membrane and catalyses their translocation across the membrane. Presently, our knowledge on the structural details behind the int...
