    Abstract Humans derive fatty acids (FA) from exogenous dietary sources and/or endogenous synthesis from acetyl-CoA, although some FA are solely derived from exogenous sources ("essential FA"). Once inside cells, FA may undergo a wide variety of different modifications, which include their activation to their corresponding CoA ester, the introduction of double bonds, the 2- and ω-hydroxylation and chain elongation, thereby generating a cellular FA pool which can be used for the synthesis of more complex lipids. The biological properties of complex lipids are very much determined by their molecular composition in terms of the FA incorporated into these lipid species. This immediately explains the existence of a range of genetic diseases in man, often with severe clinical consequences caused by variants in one of the many genes coding for enzymes responsible for these FA modifications. It is the purpose of this review to describe the current state of knowledge about FA homeostasis and the genetic diseases involved. This includes the disorders of FA activation, desaturation, 2- and ω-hydroxylation, and chain elongation, but also the disorders of FA breakdown, including disorders of peroxisomal and mitochondrial α- and β-oxidation.

    Abstract Peroxisomes catalyze a number of essential metabolic functions of which fatty acid alpha- and beta-oxidation, ether phospholipid biosynthesis, glyoxylate detoxification and bile acid synthesis are the most important. The key role of peroxisomes in humans is exemplified by the existence of a group of peroxisomal disorders, caused by mutations in > 30 different genes which code for proteins with a role in either peroxisome biogenesis or one of the metabolic pathways in peroxisomes. Technological advances in laboratory methods at the metabolite-, enzyme-, and molecular level have not only allowed the identification of new peroxisomal disorders but also new phenotypes associated with already identified genetic defects thus extending the clinical spectrum. Unfortunately, progress in the field of pathogenesis and treatment has lagged behind although there are certainly new and hopeful developments with respect to X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and hyperoxaluria type 1.

    Abstract Glyoxylate is a key metabolite generated from various precursor substrates in different subcellular compartments including mitochondria, peroxisomes, and the cytosol. The fact that glyoxylate is a good substrate for the ubiquitously expressed enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) requires the presence of efficient glyoxylate detoxification systems to avoid the formation of oxalate. Furthermore, this detoxification needs to be compartment-specific since LDH is actively present in multiple subcellular compartments including peroxisomes, mitochondria, and the cytosol. Whereas the identity of these protection systems has been established for both peroxisomes and the cytosol as concluded from the deficiency of alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) in primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) and glyoxylate reductase (GR) in PH2, the glyoxylate protection system in mitochondria has remained less well defined. In this manuscript, we show that the enzyme glyoxylate reductase has a bimodal distribution in human embryonic kidney (HEK293), hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells and more importantly, in human liver, and is actively present in both the mitochondrial and cytosolic compartments. We conclude that the metabolism of glyoxylate in humans requires the complicated interaction between different subcellular compartments within the cell and discuss the implications for the different primary hyperoxalurias.

    Abstract Peroxisomes play a central role in metabolism as exemplified by the fact that many genetic disorders in humans have been identified through the years in which there is an impairment in one or more of these peroxisomal functions, in most cases associated with severe clinical signs and symptoms. One of the key functions of peroxisomes is the β-oxidation of fatty acids which differs from the oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria in many respects which includes the different substrate specificities of the two organelles. Whereas mitochondria are the main site of oxidation of medium-and long-chain fatty acids, peroxisomes catalyse the β-oxidation of a distinct set of fatty acids, including very-long-chain fatty acids, pristanic acid and the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid. Peroxisomes require the functional alliance with multiple subcellular organelles to fulfil their role in metabolism. Indeed, peroxisomes require the functional interaction with lysosomes, lipid droplets and the endoplasmic reticulum, since these organelles provide the substrates oxidized in peroxisomes. On the other hand, since peroxisomes lack a citric acid cycle as well as respiratory chain, oxidation of the end-products of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation notably acetyl-CoA, and different medium-chain acyl-CoAs, to CO

    Abstract Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that play a central role in human physiology by catalyzing a range of unique metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for human health is exemplified by the existence of a group of usually severe diseases caused by an impairment in one or more peroxisomal functions. Among others these include the Zellweger spectrum disorders, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, and Refsum disease. To fulfill their role in metabolism, peroxisomes require continued interaction with other subcellular organelles including lipid droplets, lysosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. In recent years it has become clear that the metabolic alliance between peroxisomes and other organelles requires the active participation of tethering proteins to bring the organelles physically closer together, thereby achieving efficient transfer of metabolites. This review intends to describe the current state of knowledge about the metabolic role of peroxisomes in humans, with particular emphasis on the metabolic partnership between peroxisomes and other organelles and the consequences of genetic defects in these processes. We also describe the biogenesis of peroxisomes and the consequences of the multiple genetic defects therein. In addition, we discuss the functional role of peroxisomes in different organs and tissues and include relevant information derived from model systems, notably peroxisomal mouse models. Finally, we pay particular attention to a hitherto underrated role of peroxisomes in viral infections.

    Abstract Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles which are present in virtually every eukaryotic cell and catalyze a large number of metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for humans is stressed by the existence of a large group of genetic diseases in which either the biogenesis of peroxisomes is impaired or one of its metabolic functions. Thanks to the work on Zellweger syndrome which is the prototype of the group of peroxisomal disorders, much has been learned about the metabolism and biogenesis of peroxisomes in humans. These metabolic functions include: (1.) fatty acid beta-oxidation; (2.) etherphospholipid biosynthesis; (3.) fatty acid alpha-oxidation, and (4.) glyoxylate detoxification. Since peroxisomes lack a citric acid cycle and a respiratory chain, peroxisomes are relatively helpless organelles which rely heavily on their cross-talk with other subcellular organelles in order to metabolize the end products of metabolism as generated in peroxisomes. The metabolic functions of peroxisomes in humans will be briefly described in this review with emphasis on the cross-talk with other subcellular organelles as well as the peroxisomal disorders in which one or more peroxisomal functions are impaired.
