Peroxisome membrane proteins: multiple trafficking routes and multiple functions?
PMPs (peroxisome membrane proteins) play essential roles in organelle biogenesis and in co-ordinating peroxisomal metabolism with pathways in other subcellular compartments through transport of metabolites and the operation of redox shuttles. Although the import of soluble proteins into the peroxisome matrix has been well studied, much less is known about the trafficking of PMPs. Pex3 and Pex19...
متن کاملMitotic moonlighting functions for membrane trafficking proteins.
In recent years, cell biologists have uncovered a number of new functions for proteins that were previously thought to operate solely in membrane trafficking. These alternative roles, termed moonlighting functions, can occur at distinct intracellular sites or at different stages of the cell cycle. Here, I evaluate the evidence for mitotic moonlighting functions of proteins that have membrane tr...
متن کاملPex19 Binds Multiple Peroxisomal Membrane Proteins, Is Predominantly Cytoplasmic, and Is Required for Peroxisome Membrane Synthesis
Peroxisomes are components of virtually all eukaryotic cells. While much is known about peroxisomal matrix protein import, our understanding of how peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs) are targeted and inserted into the peroxisome membrane is extremely limited. Here, we show that PEX19 binds a broad spectrum of PMPs, displays saturable PMP binding, and interacts with regions of PMPs required fo...
متن کاملTrafficking of malarial proteins to the host cell cytoplasm and erythrocyte surface membrane involves multiple pathways
During the asexual stage of malaria infection, the intracellular parasite exports membranes into the erythrocyte cytoplasm and lipids and proteins to the host cell membrane, essentially "transforming" the erythrocyte. To investigate lipid and protein trafficking pathways within Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes, synchronous cultures are temporally analyzed by confocal fluorescence ima...
متن کاملComputing Multiple Watchman Routes
We present heuristics to compute multiple watchmen routes. Given a polygon (with or without holes) and a parameter k, we compute a set of k routes inside the polygon such that any point inside the polygon is visible from at least one point along one route. We measure the quality of our solutions by either the length of the longest route and the sum of route lengths, where the goal is to minimiz...
