Peroxisome biogenesis in mammalian cells
To investigate peroxisome assembly and human peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) such as Zellweger syndrome, thirteen different complementation groups (CGs) of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis have been isolated and established as a model research system. Successful gene-cloning studies by a forward genetic approach utilized a rapid functional compl...
متن کاملPeroxisome biogenesis and positioning.
Plant peroxisomes are extremely dynamic, moving and undergoing changes of shape in response to metabolic and environmental signals. Matrix proteins are imported via one of two import pathways, depending on the targeting signal within the protein. Each pathway has a specific receptor but utilizes common membrane-bound translocation machinery. Current models invoke receptor recycling, which may i...
متن کاملPeroxisome biogenesis and human peroxisome-deficiency disorders
Peroxisome is a single-membrane-bounded ubiquitous organelle containing a hundred different enzymes that catalyze various metabolic pathways such as β-oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids and synthesis of plasmalogens. To investigate peroxisome biogenesis and human peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) including Zellweger syndrome, more than a dozen different complementation groups of Chin...
متن کاملPeroxisome biogenesis disorders
Defects in PEX genes impair peroxisome assembly and multiple metabolic pathways confined to this organelle, thus providing the biochemical and molecular bases of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD). PBD are divided into two types--Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS) and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). Biochemical studies performed in blood and urine are used to screen for the P...
متن کاملArginine improves peroxisome functioning in cells from patients with a mild peroxisome biogenesis disorder
BACKGROUND Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are multisystem genetic disorders caused by a lack of functional peroxisomes, due to mutations in one of the PEX genes, encoding proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis. The phenotypic spectrum of ZSDs ranges from an early lethal form to much milder presentations. In cultured skin fibroblasts from mildly affected patients, peroxisome biogenesis ...
