    Abstract Phos-tag, a selective phosphate-binding molecule, and Phos-tag-based methodologies have been developed to investigate the phosphoproteome. In various analytical techniques using Phos-tag derivatives, phosphate-affinity electrophoresis using Phos-tag acrylamide, called Phos-tag SDS-PAGE, enables separation of phosphorylated proteins with a slower migration from non-phosphorylated proteins in polyacrylamide gels. The procedures for Phos-tag SDS-PAGE are largely common to those for conventional SDS-PAGE, thus being readily available for all laboratories. Phos-tag SDS-PAGE is widely applied to quantitative analysis of the overall phosphorylation state depending on the number and/or sites of the phosphate group. Phos-tag SDS-PAGE has also been introduced to the field of peroxisome study, including oxidative stress-induced and mitosis-specific phosphorylation of Pex14, a central component of the translocation machinery complex for peroxisomal matrix proteins. Here, we describe a practical protocol for Phos-tag SDS-PAGE and its application to peroxisome biogenesis research.

    Abstract Plasmalogens are a unique family of cellular glycerophospholipids that contain a vinyl-ether bond. The synthesis of plasmalogens is initiated in peroxisomes and completed in the endoplasmic reticulum. Plasmalogens are transported to the post-Golgi compartment, including endosomes and plasma membranes, in a manner dependent on ATP, but not vesicular transport. Plasmalogens are preferentially localized in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in a manner dependent on P4-type ATPase ATP8B2, that associates with the CDC50 subunit. Plasmalogen biosynthesis is spatiotemporally regulated by a feedback mechanism that senses the amount of plasmalogens in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane and controls the stability of fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 (FAR1), the rate-limiting enzyme for plasmalogen biosynthesis. The physiological consequences of such asymmetric localization and homeostasis of plasmalogens are discussed in this review.

    Abstract Plasmalogens are a unique family of cellular glycerophospholipids that contain a vinyl-ether bond. Synthesis of plasmalogens is initiated in peroxisomes and completed in the endoplasmic reticulum. The absence of plasmalogens in several organs of patients with deficiency in peroxisome biogenesis suggests that de novo synthesis of plasmalogens contributes significantly to plasmalogen homeostasis in humans. Plasmalogen biosynthesis is spatiotemporally regulated by a feedback mechanism that senses the amount of plasmalogens in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane and regulates the stability of fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 (FAR1), the rate-limiting enzyme for plasmalogen biosynthesis. Dysregulation of plasmalogen synthesis impairs cholesterol synthesis in cells and brain, resulting in the reduced expression of genes such as mRNA encoding myelin basic protein, a phenotype found in the cerebellum of plasmalogen-deficient mice. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of plasmalogen biosynthesis and the link between plasmalogen homeostasis and cholesterol biosynthesis, and address the pathogenesis of impaired plasmalogen homeostasis in rodent and humans.

    Abstract We propose a general model of unweighted and undirected networks having the scale-free property and fractal nature. Unlike the existing models of fractal scale-free networks (FSFNs), the present model can systematically and widely change the network structure. In this model, an FSFN is iteratively formed by replacing each edge in the previous generation network with a small graph called a generator. The choice of generators enables us to control the scale-free property, fractality, and other structural properties of hierarchical FSFNs. We calculate theoretically various characteristic quantities of networks, such as the exponent of the power-law degree distribution, fractal dimension, average clustering coefficient, global clustering coefficient, and joint probability describing the nearest-neighbor degree correlation. As an example of analyses of phenomena occurring on FSFNs, we also present the critical point and critical exponents of the bond-percolation transition on infinite FSFNs, which is related to the robustness of networks against edge removal. By comparing the percolation critical points of FSFNs whose structural properties are the same as each other except for the clustering nature, we clarify the effect of the clustering on the robustness of FSFNs. As demonstrated by this example, the present model makes it possible to elucidate how a specific structural property influences a phenomenon occurring on FSFNs by varying systematically the structures of FSFNs. Finally, we extend our model for deterministic FSFNs to a model of non-deterministic ones by introducing asymmetric generators and reexamine all characteristic quantities and the percolation problem for such non-deterministic FSFNs.

    Abstract 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 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants impaired in peroxisome biogenesis are isolated as a model experimental system. By taking advantage of rapid functional complementation assay of the CHO cell mutants, successful cloning of PEX genes encoding peroxins required for peroxisome assembly invaluably contributed to the accomplishment of cloning of pathogenic genes responsible for PBDs. Peroxins are divided into three groups: 1) peroxins including Pex3p, Pex16p and Pex19p, are responsible for peroxisome membrane biogenesis via Pex19p- and Pex3p-dependent class I and Pex19p- and Pex16p-dependent class II pathways; 2) peroxins that function in matrix protein import; 3) those such as Pex11pβ are involved in peroxisome division where DLP1, Mff, and Fis1 coordinately function.

    Abstract Mammalian PEX16 has been considered essential for generating and maintaining peroxisomal membranes. This view is based primarily on the finding that fibroblasts from several PEX16-deficient patients are devoid of peroxisomal structures but can form peroxisomes upon expression of PEX16. However, unlike these patient-derived cells, pex16 mutants in other model organisms contain partially functional peroxisomes. Here, we report that PEX16-knockout (KO) cells derived from three mammalian cultured cell lines comprise cells containing a fewer number of enlarged peroxisomes and cells lacking peroxisomes. We also suggest that PEX16 accelerates the process by which peroxisome-less cells form peroxisomal membranes and subsequently establish mature peroxisomes, independently of its ability to mediate peroxisomal targeting of PEX3. Nevertheless, PEX16 is not absolutely required for this process. Moreover, a well-known patient-derived PEX16 mutant inhibits the de novo formation of peroxisomal membranes. Our findings suggest that although PEX16 is undoubtedly important for optimal peroxisomal membrane biogenesis, mammalian cells may be able to form peroxisomes de novo and maintain the organelles without the aid of PEX16.
