    Abstract A major current issue in studies of peroxisome biogenesis is how proteins are imported into the organelle or inserted into its membrane. Recent studies indicate that these two processes use independent pathways. Both appear to have unexpected properties. Matrix proteins can be imported in an oligomeric form which might be facilitated by cycling receptors, whereas insertion of at least some peroxisomal membrane proteins seems to involve the endoplasmic reticulum.

    Abstract One feature of the PTS2 import pathway is the separation of the roles of the PTS receptor between two proteins. Pex7p alone is insufficient to act as the receptor for the import cycle for peroxisomal matrix proteins. In all cases, Pex7p needs a PTS2 co-receptor to form an import-competent PTS2 receptor complex together with the PTS2 cargo. We provide an overview of the proteins that have been identified as PTS2 co-receptors and discuss their proposed functions.

    Abstract 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.

    Abstract It was once believed that common mechanisms underpin the transfer of proteins across the membrane systems of organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxisomes. Now that many of the core components of the translocases have been indentified, results discussed at a recent conference [Max-Delbrück-Centrum Symposium "Protein Transport and Stability"; Berlin, Germany; 21-26 March 2001. Organized by Thomas Sommer and Enno Hartmann.] stress just how diverse the mechanisms of transport into these organelles really are.

    Abstract Proteins are targeted to the membrane and matrix of peroxisomes by distinct pathways. Recent observations suggest a further route: a subset of peroxisomal membrane proteins might be targeted first to the endoplasmic reticulum, and from there to peroxisomes by vesicle-mediated transport.

    Abstract A molecular understanding of peroxisome biogenesis depends upon the analysis of peroxisomal proteins. Here we describe the isolation of the 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation system from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a dimer of identical subunits, each with a molecular mass of 45 kDa. Monospecific polyclonal antibodies were raised against the purified enzyme, and its peroxisomal origin was demonstrated by immunoblotting of subcellular fractions as well as by immunogold labelling. We also show that these antibodies could be suitable for an immunofluorescence microscopy screening of yeast mutants affected in peroxisome assembly.

    Abstract Peroxisomal matrix protein import is facilitated by cycling receptors that recognize their cargo proteins in the cytosol by peroxisomal targeting sequences (PTS). In the following, the assembled receptor-cargo complex is targeted to the peroxisomal membrane where it docks to the docking-complex as part of the peroxisomal translocation machinery. The docking-complex is composed of Pex13p, Pex14p and in yeast also Pex17p, whose function is still elusive. In order to characterize the function of Pex17p, we compared the composition and size of peroxisomal receptor-docking complexes from wild-type and pex17Δ cells. Our data demonstrate that the deficiency of Pex17p affects the stoichiometry of the constituents of an isolated 600kDa complex and that pex17Δ cells lack a high molecular weight complex (>900kDa) of unknown function. We identified the dynein light chain protein Dyn2p as an additional core component of the Pex14p/Pex17p-complex. Both, Pex14p and Pex17p interact directly with Dyn2p, but in vivo, Pex17p turned out to be prerequisite for an association of Dyn2p with Pex14p. Finally, like pex17Δ also dyn2Δ cells lack the high molecular weight complex. As dyn2Δ cells also display reduced peroxisomal function, our data indicate that Dyn2p-dependent formation of the high molecular weight Pex14p-complex is required to maintain peroxisomal function on wild-type level.
