Disease relevance of PEX1

 

High impact information on PEX1

  • Pex14p, an S. cerevisiae peroxin, is attached to the outer face of the peroxisomal membrane and is a component of the protein import machinery [2].
  • Mutations in PEX1 are the most common cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorders [3].
  • These data demonstrate an important role for PEX1 in peroxisome biogenesis and suggest that mutations in this gene are the most common cause of the PBDs [3].
  • Expression of PEX1 rescued the cells from the biogenesis defect in human fibroblasts of complementation group 1 (CG1), the largest PBD complementation group [4].
  • Human PEX1 has been identified by computer-based 'homology probing' using the ScPex1p sequence to screen databases of expressed sequence tags (dbEST) for human cDNA clones [4].
 

Biological context of PEX1

 

Anatomical context of PEX1

  • As has been shown previously for P. pastoris pex1, pex6, and pex22 mutant cells, we show here that pex4Delta mutant cells contain peroxisomal membrane protein-containing peroxisomes that import residual amounts of peroxisomal matrix proteins [10].
  • Pex15p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a molecular basis for recruitment of the AAA peroxin Pex6p to peroxisomal membranes [11].
  • Within this context, we discuss the proposed role for the endoplasmic reticulum in the formation of preperoxisomes and the potential for 15 Arabidopsis peroxin homologs to function in the biogenesis of peroxisomes in plant cells [12].
  • In transiently transformed Arabidopsis and tobacco BY-2 suspension-cultured cells, epitope-tagged AtPex3p (form 2) sorted post-translationally from the cytosol directly to peroxisomes, the first sorting pathway described for any peroxin in plants [13].
 

Associations of PEX1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of PEX1

 

Other interactions of PEX1

  • Northern hybridization experiments further demonstrated that expression of two genes encoding enzymes of peroxisomal beta-oxidation (beta-ketothiolase, trifunctional enzyme) and of a gene involved in peroxisome assembly (PAS1) is also negatively affected by the adr1 null mutation [20].
  • PEX11 codes for a peroxin that is critical for normal peroxisome proliferation, and its promoter was shown similarly to contain a UAS1-like element overlapping the ORE [21].
  • AFG1, a new member of the SEC18-NSF, PAS1, CDC48-VCP, TBP family of ATPases [22].
  • The PAS5 gene was cloned and found to encode a 127-kD protein, which contains a 200-amino acid-long region of homology with PAS1, NEM-sensitive factor (NSF), and other related ATPases [23].
  • Ubiquitination of Pex5p is shown to take place exclusively at the peroxisomal membrane after the docking step, and requires the presence of the RING-finger peroxin Pex10p [24].
