Disease relevance of PEX1

  • The poly[(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate] (PHA) synthase gene (phaC(Ac)) of Aeromonas caviae FA440 was modified by adding a peroxisome targeting signal encoding the last 10 amino acids at the carboxyl-terminal of spinach glycolate oxidase [1].
 

High impact information on PEX1

 

Biological context of PEX1

 

Anatomical context of PEX1

  • We conclude that KATs and ACATs are present in the cytosol and peroxisome, but are not found in mitochondria [11].
  • Although AtSOX lacks a typical peroxisome-targeting signal, in vitro assays established that it is imported into peroxisomes [12].
  • They were found peripherally associated with peroxisome and ER membranes but not as covalently bound subunits of AtPex16p [13].
  • The R. communis enzyme would therefore appear to possess an additional glyoxysome/peroxisome targeting signal that is lacking in the B. napus protein [14].
  • In transient onion epidermis assay and in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, an interference with the actin cytoskeleton resulted in progressive loss of saltatory movement followed by the aggregation and a complete cessation of peroxisome motility within 30 min of drug application [15].
 

Associations of PEX1 with chemical compounds

  • Results suggest that lipids can be used as a source of carbon for respiration in germinating oilseeds and that products of fatty acid catabolism can pass from the peroxisome to the mitochondrion independently of the glyoxylate cycle [16].
  • The C18 JA precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) is converted in the peroxisome to 3-oxo-2-(2'-[Z]-pentenyl)cyclopentane-1-octanoic acid (OPC-8:0), which subsequently undergoes three rounds of beta-oxidation to yield JA [17].
  • A C-terminal dilysine motif, present in AtPex11c, -d and -e, was not necessary for AtPex11d-induced peroxisome elongation [18].
  • Analysis of mfp2-1 seedlings revealed that seed storage lipid was catabolized more slowly, long-chain acyl-CoA substrates accumulated and there was an increase in peroxisome size [19].
  • Requirement for 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase-2 in peroxisome development, fatty acid beta-oxidation and breakdown of triacylglycerol in lipid bodies of Arabidopsis seedlings [20].
