High impact information on PEX5

  • Pex14p also interacts with two other membrane-bound peroxins including Pex13p, another binding protein for the PTS1 receptor [1].
  • Phenotypic analysis of PEX1-deficient cells revealed severe defects in peroxisomal matrix protein import and destabilization of PEX5, the receptor for the type-1 peroxisomal targetting signal, even though peroxisomes were present in these cells and capable of importing peroxisomal membrane proteins [2].
  • Mutations in the PTS1 receptor gene, PXR1, define complementation group 2 of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders [3].
  • Two cytosolic import receptors, Pex5p and Pex7p, along with approximately 12 membrane-bound peroxins participate in this process [4].
  • While the function of most small signaling domains is confined to binary ligand interactions, the peroxisomal Pex13p SH3 domain has the unique capacity of binding to two different ligands, Pex5p and Pex14p [5].
 

Biological context of PEX5

 

Anatomical context of PEX5

  • PHA synthesis was found to be dependent on the presence of both the enzymes generating the beta-oxidation intermediate 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A (3-hydroxyacyl-[CoA]) and the peroxin-encoding PEX5 gene, demonstrating the requirement for a functional peroxisome and a beta-oxidation cycle for PHA synthesis [10].
  • Functional role of the AAA peroxins in dislocation of the cycling PTS1 receptor back to the cytosol [11].
  • Peroxisome targeting signal type 1 (PTS1) receptor is involved in import of both PTS1 and PTS2: studies with PEX5-defective CHO cell mutants [12].
  • Transformation of the Hansenula polymorpha peroxisome deficient pex5 mutant with watermelon PEX5 resulted in restoration of peroxisome formation and the synthesis of additional membranes surrounding the peroxisomes [13].
  • The interaction between the PTS1 signal and its cognate receptor Pex5 initiates the major import mechanism for proteins into the matrix of these organelles [14].
 

Associations of PEX5 with chemical compounds

  • In peptides interacting with the human protein, hydrophobic residues were found with high frequency especially at positions -2 and -5, whereas peptides interacting with S. cerevisiae Pex5p were more hydrophilic and frequently contained arginine at position -2 [15].
  • The Arabidopsis T-DNA insertional pex5 mutant, Atpex5, which does not germinate in the absence of sucrose and was resistant to indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), was perfectly rescued by over-expression of OsPex5pL, but not by OsPex5pS [16].
  • The level of Pex5p, the receptor involved in import of alcohol oxidase and dihydroxyacetone synthase into peroxisomes, was also reduced in both disruption strains compared to that in wild-type cells [17].
  • This process appeared to be dependent on a conserved lysine residue in the N-terminus of Pex5p (Lys21) and was prevented in a Pex5p(K21R) mutant [18].
  • Although mutant pex5delta cells expressing a yeast/tobacco Pex5p chimaera failed to import a GFP-Eci1p reporter protein, they were able to grow on oleic acid [19].
 

Physical interactions of PEX5

  • On the basis of these and other published data, we propose that the C terminus of Pex14p contains the actual docking site and discuss the possibility that the N terminus could be involved in a Pex5p-Pex14p association inside the peroxisomal membrane [20].
  • Consistent with this, Pex5p interacted in two-hybrid assays with both Eci1p and Eci1PdeltaHRL [21].
  • The peptide corresponding to wild-type ICL interacted with all three Pex5p proteins to differing extents, but neither mutant could interact with Pex5p from any species [22].
  • PEX-5 interacted strongly in a two-hybrid assay with Gal4p-SKL, and a screen using PEX-5 identified interaction partners that were predominantly terminated with PTS1 or its variants [23].
 

Other interactions of PEX5

  • Taken together, this indicates that in the absence of Pex13-SH3 interaction, other protein(s) is able to bind Pex5p at the peroxisome; Pex14p is a likely candidate for this function [7].
  • Thus, Eci1p peroxisomal targeting does require the Pex5p-dependent PTS1 pathway, but does not require a PTS1 of its own [21].
  • This suggests that the Pex5p-dependent import of Eci1p-GFP is due to interaction and co-import with Dci1p [21].
  • Moreover, we found that Pex5p-N can be functionally replaced by Pex18p, one of two auxiliary proteins of the PTS2 import pathway [6].
  • Here we demonstrate, using different techniques, that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pex5p-N alone facilitates the import of the major matrix protein Fox1p [6].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PEX5

  • Sequence analysis of the full-length cDNA revealed the presence of an open reading frame encoding a 70-kDa polypeptide that belongs to the tetratricopeptide repeat family and that is homologous to the PAS8 and PAS10 gene products, which are required for the formation of normal peroxisomes in yeast [24].
