Plant peroxisomes: biogenesis and function.
Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are highly dynamic both in morphology and metabolism. Plant peroxisomes are involved in numerous processes, including primary and secondary metabolism, development, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Considerable progress has been made in the identification of factors involved in peroxisomal biogenesis, revealing mechanisms that are both sha...
متن کاملBiogenesis of peroxisomes: immunocytochemical investigation of peroxisomal membrane proteins in proliferating rat liver peroxisomes and in catalase-negative membrane loops
Treatment of rats with a new hypocholesterolemic drug BM 15766 induces proliferation of peroxisomes in pericentral regions of the liver lobule with distinct alterations of the peroxisomal membrane (Baumgart, E., K. Stegmeier, F. H. Schmidt, and H. D. Fahimi. 1987. Lab. Invest. 56:554-564). We have used ultrastructural cytochemistry in conjunction with immunoblotting and immunoelectron microscop...
متن کاملEmerging roles of mitochondria in the evolution, biogenesis, and function of peroxisomes
In the last century peroxisomes were thought to have an endosymbiotic origin. Along with mitochondria and chloroplasts, peroxisomes primarily regulate their numbers through the growth and division of pre-existing organelles, and they house specific machinery for protein import. These features were considered unique to endosymbiotic organelles, prompting the idea that peroxisomes were key cellul...
متن کاملEpoxide hydrolase in human and rat peroxisomes: implication for disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis.
To understand the basis of excretion of excessive amounts of epoxydicarboxylic fatty acids (EDFA) in urine of patients with disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis (Pitt, J. J., and A. Poulos. 1993. Clin. Chim. Acta. 223: 23-29), the activity of epoxide hydrolase (EH) was measured in cultured skin fibroblasts from control subjects and patients with peroxisomal disorders. EH activity was approximate...
متن کاملBiogenesis of peroxisomes and glycosomes: trypanosomatid glycosome assembly is a promising new drug target.
In trypanosomatids (Trypanosoma and Leishmania), protozoa responsible for serious diseases of mankind in tropical and subtropical countries, core carbohydrate metabolism including glycolysis is compartmentalized in peculiar peroxisomes called glycosomes. Proper biogenesis of these organelles and the correct sequestering of glycolytic enzymes are essential to these parasites. Biogenesis of glyco...
