Fluorescence analysis of the Hansenula polymorpha peroxisomal targeting signal-1 receptor, Pex5p.
Correct sorting of newly synthesized peroxisomal matrix proteins is dependent on a peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS). So far two PTSs are known. PTS1 consists of a tripeptide that is located at the extreme C terminus of matrix proteins and is specifically recognized by the PTS1-receptor Pex5p. We studied Hansenula polymorpha Pex5p (HpPex5p) using fluorescence spectroscopy. The intensity of Trp...
متن کاملThe Hansenula polymorpha peroxisomal targeting signal 1 receptor, Pex5p, functions as a tetramer.
We have studied Hansenula polymorpha Pex5p and Pex20p, peroxins involved in peroxisomal matrix protein import. In vitro binding experiments suggested that H. polymorpha Pex5p and Pex20p physically interact. We used single particle electron microscopy (EM) to analyze the structure of purified Pex5p and its possible association with Pex20p. Upon addition of Pex20p, a multimeric Pex20p complex was...
متن کاملHansenula polymorpha Pex20p is an oligomer that binds the peroxisomal targeting signal 2 (PTS2).
We have cloned and characterized the Hansenula polymorpha PEX20 gene. The HpPEX20 gene encodes a protein of 309 amino acids (HpPex20p) with a calculated molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa. In cells of an HpPEX20 disruption strain, PTS2 proteins were mislocalized to the cytosol, whereas PTS1 matrix protein import proceeded normally. Also, the PTS2 proteins amine oxidase and thiolase were nor...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملThe peroxisomal targeting sequence type 1 receptor, Pex5p, and the peroxisomal import efficiency of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase.
Unlike most organellar proteins, some peroxisomal proteins are often found in significant amounts in the cytosol. Such apparent import inefficiency is very marked in guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) hepatocytes in which the cytosolic levels of two peroxisomal proteins, catalase and alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT), are much higher than those found in human (Homo sapiens) hepatocytes, for e...
