Peroxisome Biogenesis: End of the Debate
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-standing and thorny issue of the origin of peroxisomes has at last been solved. New evidence demonstrates conclusively that the peroxisomal membrane originates from the endoplasmic reticulum. This process requires the two peroxins Pex3p and Pex19p leading to intermediate structures that then mature into functionally competent organelles.

Isolation 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...

Background Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) type 1 is among of the rare autosomal recessive peroxisome biogenesis disorders caused by mutations in the PEX7 gene. RCDP patients with the classic form of RCDP1 do not live more than 10- year. Materials and Methods In the present study, a two-year-old girl with skeletal abnormalities and dysmorphic facial appearance is reported to be suf...

Background and aims: Postmenopausal is associated with heart and metabolic disorders. Although the beneficial role of physical activity and antioxidants in human health has been reported; However, the interactive effects of Aerobic training (AT) and Propolis (Pr) on mitochondrial biogenesis in cardiac tissue is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight we...
متن کاملIdentification of the Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 1 Gene Point Mutation in an Iranian Family with Zellweger Syndrome (ZS)
Background & Objective: Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of diseases with peroxisomal dysfunction. Wide range of symptoms are associated with the disease which are due to mutations in the PEX genes. The PEX1 mutation occurs in Zellweger syndrome (ZS), a severe autosomal recessive condition with hypotonia, intellectual disability, and hepatic enlargement. The present study ...
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...
