    Abstract Phosphoinositides are lipid signaling molecules acting at the interface of membranes and the cytosol to regulate membrane trafficking, lipid transport and responses to extracellular stimuli. Peroxisomes are multicopy organelles that are highly responsive to changes in metabolic and environmental conditions. In yeast, peroxisomes are tethered to the cell cortex at defined focal structures containing the peroxisome inheritance protein, Inp1p. We investigated the potential impact of changes in cortical phosphoinositide levels on the peroxisome compartment of the yeast cell. Here we show that the phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P), found at the junction of the cortical endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane (cER-PM) acts to regulate the cell's peroxisome population. In cells lacking a cER-PM tether or the enzymatic activity of the lipid phosphatase Sac1p, cortical PI4P is elevated, peroxisome numbers and motility are increased, and peroxisomes are no longer firmly tethered to Inp1p-containing foci. Reattachment of the cER to the PM through an artificial ER-PM "staple" in cells lacking the cER-PM tether does not restore peroxisome populations to the wild-type condition, demonstrating that integrity of PI4P signaling at the cell cortex is required for peroxisome homeostasis.

    Abstract Organelle tethering and intercommunication are crucial for proper cell function. We previously described a tether between peroxisomes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that acts in peroxisome population control in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Components of this tether are Pex3p, an integral membrane protein of both peroxisomes and the ER and Inp1p, a connector that links peroxisomes to the ER. Here, we report the analysis of random Inp1p mutants that enabled identification of regions in Inp1p required for the assembly and maintenance of the ER-peroxisome tether. Interaction analysis between Inp1p mutants and known Inp1p-binding proteins demonstrated that Pex3p and Inp1p do not constitute the sole components of the ER-peroxisome tether. Deletion of these Inp1p interactors whose steady-state localization is outside of ER-peroxisome tethers affected peroxisome dynamics. Our findings are consistent with the presence of regulatory cues that act on ER-peroxisome tethers and point to the existence of membrane contact sites between peroxisomes and organelles other than the ER.

    Abstract We report the permanent introduction of the human peroxisomal β-oxidation enzymatic machinery required for straight chain degradation of fatty acids into the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Peroxisomal β-oxidation encompasses four sequential reactions that are confined to three enzymes. The genes encoding human acyl-CoA oxidase 1, peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme type 2 and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase were introduced into the genomic loci of their yeast gene equivalents. The human β-oxidation genes were individually tagged with sequence coding for GFP and expression of the protein chimeras as well as their targeting to peroxisomes was confirmed. Functional complementation of the β-oxidation pathway was assessed by growth on media containing fatty acids of different chain lengths. Yeast cells exhibited distinctive substrate specificities depending on whether they expressed the human or their endogenous β-oxidation machinery. The genetic engineering of yeast to contain a 'humanized' organelle is a first step for the in vivo study of human peroxisome disorders in a model organism.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus that has triggered global health and economic crises. Here we report the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on peroxisomes of human cell lines Huh-7 and SK-N-SH. Peroxisomes undergo dramatic changes in morphology in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells. Rearrangement of peroxisomal membranes is followed by redistribution of peroxisomal matrix proteins to the cytosol, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the number of mature peroxisomes. The SARS-CoV-2 ORF14 protein was shown to interact physically with human PEX14, a peroxisomal membrane protein required for matrix protein import and peroxisome biogenesis. Given the important roles of peroxisomes in innate immunity, SARS-CoV-2 may directly target peroxisomes, resulting in loss of peroxisome structural integrity, matrix protein content and ability to function in antiviral signaling.

    Abstract Trypanosomatid parasites are infectious agents for diseases such as African sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis that threaten millions of people, mostly in the emerging world. Trypanosomes compartmentalize glycolytic enzymes to an organelle called the glycosome, a specialized peroxisome. Functionally intact glycosomes are essential for trypanosomatid viability, making glycosomal proteins as potential drug targets against trypanosomatid diseases. Peroxins (Pex), of which Pex3 is the master regulator, control glycosome biogenesis. Although Pex3 has been found throughout the eukaryota, its identity has remained stubbornly elusive in trypanosomes. We used bioinformatics predictive of protein secondary structure to identify trypanosomal Pex3. Microscopic and biochemical analyses showed trypanosomal Pex3 to be glycosomal. Interaction of Pex3 with the peroxisomal membrane protein receptor Pex19 observed for other eukaryotes is replicated by trypanosomal Pex3 and Pex19. Depletion of Pex3 leads to mislocalization of glycosomal proteins to the cytosol, reduced glycosome numbers, and trypanosomatid death. Our findings are consistent with

    Abstract Eukaryotic cells are subcompartmentalized into discrete, membrane-enclosed organelles. These organelles must be preserved in cells over many generations to maintain the selective advantages afforded by compartmentalization. Cells use complex molecular mechanisms of organelle inheritance to achieve high accuracy in the sharing of organelles between daughter cells. Here we focus on how a multi-copy organelle, the peroxisome, is partitioned in yeast, mammalian cells, and filamentous fungi, which differ in their mode of cell division. Cells achieve equidistribution of their peroxisomes through organelle transport and retention processes that act coordinately, although the strategies employed vary considerably by organism. Nevertheless, we propose that mechanisms common across species apply to the partitioning of all membrane-enclosed organelles.

    Abstract Organelle inheritance is the process by which eukaryotic cells actively replicate and equitably partition their organelles between mother cell and daughter cell at cytokinesis to maintain the benefits of subcellular compartmentalization. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has proven invaluable in helping to define the factors involved in the inheritance of different organelles and in understanding how these factors act and interact to maintain balance in the organelle populations of actively dividing cells. Inheritance factors can be classified as motors that transport organelles, tethers that retain organelles, and connectors (receptors) that mediate the attachment of organelles to motors and anchors. This article will review how peroxisomes are inherited by cells, with a focus on budding yeast, and will discuss common themes and mechanisms of action that underlie the inheritance of all membrane-enclosed organelles.

    Abstract Organelle inheritance is a process whereby organelles are actively distributed between dividing cells at cytokinesis. Much valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms of organelle inheritance has come from the analysis of asymmetrically dividing cells, which transport a portion of their organelles to the bud while retaining another portion in the mother cell. Common principles apply to the inheritance of all organelles, although individual organelles use specific factors for their partitioning. Inheritance factors can be classified as motors, which are required for organelle transport; anchors, which immobilize organelles at distinct cell structures; or connectors, which mediate the attachment of organelles to motors and anchors. Here, we provide an overview of recent advances in the field of organelle inheritance and highlight how motor, anchor, and connector molecules choreograph the segregation of a multicopy organelle, the peroxisome. We also discuss the role of organelle population control in the generation of cellular diversity.

    Abstract Lipid droplets are ubiquitous cellular structures involved in energy homeostasis and metabolism that have long been considered as simple inert deposits of lipid. Here, we show that lipid droplets are bona fide organelles that are actively partitioned between mother cell and daughter cell in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Video microscopy revealed that a subset of lipid droplets moves from mother cell to bud in an ordered, vectorial process, while the remaining lipid droplets are retained by the mother cell. Bud-directed movement of lipid droplets is mediated by the molecular motor Myo2p, while retention of lipid droplets occurs at the perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Lipid droplets are thus apportioned between mother cell and daughter cell at cell division rather than being made anew.
