The peroxin pex3p initiates membrane assembly in peroxisome biogenesis.
Rat cDNA encoding a 372-amino-acid peroxin was isolated, primarily by functional complementation screening, using a peroxisome-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant, ZPG208, of complementation group 17. The deduced primary sequence showed approximately 25% amino acid identity with the yeast Pex3p, thereby we termed this cDNA rat PEX3 (RnPEX3). Human and Chinese hamster Pex3p showed 96 and...
متن کاملPeroxisome assembly: matrix and membrane protein biogenesis
The biogenesis of peroxisomal matrix and membrane proteins is substantially different from the biogenesis of proteins of other subcellular compartments, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, that are of endosymbiotic origin. Proteins are targeted to the peroxisome matrix through interactions between specific targeting sequences and receptor proteins, followed by protein translocation across th...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of a New Peroxisome Deficient CHO Mutant Cell Belonging to Complementation Group 12
We searched for novel Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis by an improved method using peroxisome targeting sequence (PTS) of Pex3p (amino acid residues 1–40)-fused enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). From mutagenized TKaEG3(1–40) cells, the wild-type CHO-K1 stably expressing rat Pex2p and of rat Pex3p(1–40)-EGFP, numerous cell colonies resistant to...
متن کاملPeroxisome Membrane Biogenesis: The Stage Is Set
Pex3p and Pex19p are key players in the post-translational import of peroxisomal membrane proteins. New data suggest that these peroxins act in tandem, Pex19p as a cytosolic chaperone and import receptor for peroxisomal membrane proteins, and Pex3p as docking factor at the peroxisomal membrane.
متن کاملPex19p interacts with Pex3p and Pex10p and is essential for peroxisome biogenesis in Pichia pastoris.
We report the cloning and characterization of Pichia pastoris PEX19 by complementation of a peroxisome-deficient mutant strain. Import of peroxisomal targeting signal 1- and 2-containing peroxisomal matrix proteins is defective in pex19 mutants. PEX19 encodes a hydrophilic 299-amino acid protein with sequence similarity to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pex19p and human and Chinese hamster PxF, all f...
