Associations of Peroxisomes with chemical compounds

  • We now demonstrate that ultraspiracle (usp), a Drosophila RXR homolog, can substitute for RXR in stimulating the DNA binding of receptors for retinoic acid, T3, vitamin D, and peroxisome proliferator activators [26].
  • These results support prior studies emphasizing the role of peroxisomes and the acyl DHAP pathway in cellular ether lipid synthesis, establish Zellweger syndrome cells as valuable for elucidating peroxisomal functions, and provide prenatal and postnatal diagnostic assays as well as potential therapeutic strategies for Zellweger syndrome [2].
  • Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are key players in lipid and glucose metabolism and are implicated in metabolic disorders predisposing to atherosclerosis, such as dyslipidaemia and diabetes [27].
  • Activation of a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily by peroxisome proliferators [28].
  • Amphipathic carboxylates such as clofibric acid have been used in man as hypolipidaemic agents and in rodents they stimulate the proliferation of peroxisomes [17].
 

Gene context of Peroxisomes

  • 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 [10].
  • PEX7, a candidate gene for RCDP identified in yeast, encodes the receptor for peroxisomal matrix proteins with the type-2 peroxisome targeting signal (PTS2) [29].
  • PEX12 encodes an integral membrane protein of peroxisomes [30].
  • The Pas2 protein essential for peroxisome biogenesis is related to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes [31].
  • When the mutant is transfected with a good PEX3 gene, these protoperoxisomes acquire additional membrane peroxins and then import the matrix enzymes to reform peroxisomes [19].
