Abstract. The development of peroxisomes and expression of their enzymes were investigated in differentiating intestinal epithelial cells during their migration along the crypt-villus axis. Sequential cell populations harvested by a low-temperature method were identified by microscopy, determination of alkaline phosphatase and sucrase activities and incorporation of [3 H]-thymidine into DNA. Ultrastructural cytochemistry after staining for catalase activity, revealed the presence of peroxisomes in undifferentiated stem cells located in the crypt region. Morphometry indicated that the number of these organelles increased as intestinal epithelial cells differentiate. Catalase activity was higher in the crypt cells than in the mature enterocytes harvested from villus tips. On the other hand, an increasing gradient of activity was observed from crypts to villus tips for peroxisomal oxidases, i.e. fatty acyl coA oxidase, D-amino acid oxidase and polyamine oxidase. These findings indicate that biogenesis of peroxisomes occurs during migration of intestinal epithelial cells along the crypt-villus axis and that peroxisomal oxidases contribute substantially to the biochemical maturation of enterocytes. 相似文献

More than half a century of research on peroxisomes has revealed unique features of this ubiquitous subcellular organelle,
which have often been in disagreement with existing dogmas in cell biology. About 50 peroxisomal enzymes have so far been
identified, which contribute to several crucial metabolic processes such as β-oxidation of fatty acids, biosynthesis of ether
phospholipids and metabolism of reactive oxygen species, and render peroxisomes indispensable for human health and development.
It became obvious that peroxisomes are highly dynamic organelles that rapidly assemble, multiply and degrade in response to
metabolic needs. However, many aspects of peroxisome biology are still mysterious. This review addresses recent exciting discoveries
on the biogenesis, formation and degradation of peroxisomes, on peroxisomal dynamics and division, as well as on the interaction
and cross talk of peroxisomes with other subcellular compartments. Furthermore, recent advances on the role of peroxisomes
in medicine and in the identification of novel peroxisomal proteins are discussed. 相似文献

Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs) represent a spectrum of autosomal recessive metabolic disorders that are collectively characterized by abnormal peroxisome assembly and impaired peroxisomal function. The importance of this ubiquitous organelle for human health is highlighted by the fact that PBDs are multisystemic disorders that often cause death in early infancy. Peroxisomes contribute to central metabolic pathways. Most enzymes in the peroxisomal matrix are linked to lipid metabolism and detoxification of reactive oxygen species. Proper assembly of peroxisomes and thus also import of their enzymes relies on specific peroxisomal biogenesis factors, so called peroxins with PEX being the gene acronym. To date, 13 PEX genes are known to cause PBDs when mutated. Studies of the cellular and molecular defects in cells derived from PBD patients have significantly contributed to the understanding of the functional role of the corresponding peroxins in peroxisome assembly. In this review, we discuss recent data derived from both human cell culture as well as model organisms like yeasts and present an overview on the molecular mechanism underlying peroxisomal biogenesis disorders with emphasis on disorders caused by defects in the peroxisomal matrix protein import machinery. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Metabolic Functions and Biogenesis of Peroxisomes in Health and Disease. 相似文献

The past decade has witnessed unprecedented progress in elucidation of the complex problems of the biogenesis of peroxisomes and related human disorders, with further deepening of our understanding of the metabolic role of this ubiquitous cell organelle. There have been many recent reviews on biochemical and molecular biological aspects of peroxisomes, with the morphology and cytochemistry receiving little attention. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art cytochemical techniques available for investigation of peroxisomes. After a brief introduction into the use of the 3,3'-diaminobenzidine method for localization of catalase, which is still most commonly used for identification of peroxisomes, the cerium technique for detection of peroxisomal oxidases is discussed. The influence of the buffer used in the incubation medium on the ultrastructural pattern obtained in rat liver peroxisomes in conjunction with the localization of urate oxidase in their crystalline cores is discussed, particularly since Tris-maleate buffer inhibits the enzyme activity. In immunocytochemistry, quantitation of immunogold labeling by automatic image analysis enables quantitative assessment of alterations of proteins in the matrix of peroxisomes. This provides a highly sensitive approach for analysis of peroxisomal responses to metabolic alterations or to xenobiotics. The recent evidence suggesting the involvement of ER in the biogenesis of "preperoxisomes" is mentioned and the potential role of preembedding immunocytochemistry for identification of ER-derived early peroxisomes is emphasized. The use of GFP expressed with a peroxisomal targeting signal for the investigation of peroxisomes in living cells is briefly discussed. Finally, the application of in situ hybridization for detection of peroxisomal mRNAs is reviewed, with emphasis on a recent protocol using perfusion-fixation, paraffin embedding, and digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes, which provides a highly sensitive method for detection of both high- and low-abundance mRNAs encoding peroxisomal proteins.

Peroxisomes contain oxidases generating hydrogen peroxide, and catalase degrading this toxic compound. Another characteristic function of each eukaryotic peroxisome, from yeast to man, is fatty acid beta-oxidation. However, in peroxisomes a variety of other metabolic pathways are located. In fungi, peroxisomes contain enzymes involved in catabolism of unusual carbon and nitrogen sources (methanol, purines, D-amino acids, pipecolynic acid, sarcosine, glycolate, spermidine etc) as well as biosynthesis of lysine in yeasts and penicillin in mycelial fungi. Impairment of peroxisomal structure and functions causes many human disorders. The similar defects have been identified in yeast mutants defective in peroxisomal biogenesis. Peroxisomal biogenesis is actively studied during last two decades using uni- and multicellular model systems. It was observed that many aspects of peroxisomal biogenesis and proteins involved in this process display striking similarity between all eukaryotes, from yeasts to humans. Yeast is a convenient model system for this kind of research. Current review summarizes data on molecular events of peroxisomal biogenesis, functions of peroxine proteins, import of peroxisomal matrix and membrane proteins and on mechanisms of peroxisomedivision and inheritance. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis. Comparison to Zellweger syndrome 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

We have previously reported the isolation of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants that are defective in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens, deficient in at least two peroxisomal enzymes (dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP) acyltransferase and alkyl-DHAP synthase), and in which catalase is not found within peroxisomes (Zoeller, R. A., and Raetz, C. R. H. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 5170). We now provide further evidence that three such strains are more generally defective in peroxisome biogenesis. Electron microscopic cytochemistry revealed that the mutants did not contain recognizable peroxisomes. However, immunofluorescence microscopy using an antibody directed against peroxisomal integral membrane proteins revealed the presence of peroxisomal membrane ghosts resembling those seen in cells of patients suffering from one of the human peroxisomal disorders, Zellweger syndrome. Immunoblot analyses, using antibodies specific for peroxisomal matrix proteins, demonstrated deficiencies of peroxisomal proteins in the mutant CHO cells that were similar to those in Zellweger syndrome. Fusion of a CHO mutant with fibroblasts obtained from Zellweger patients resulted in restoration of peroxisomal dihydroxyacetonephosphate acyltransferase and peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A oxidation activities. The hybrid cells also regained the ability to synthesize plasmenylethanolamine. Moreover, normal peroxisomes were seen by immunofluorescence in the hybrid cells. These results indicate that the hybrid cells have recovered the ability to assemble peroxisomes and that, although the mutant CHO cells are biochemically and morphologically very similar to cells from patients with Zellweger syndrome, the genetic lesions are distinct. Our somatic cell mutants should be useful in identifying factors and genes involved in peroxisome biogenesis and may aid the genetic categorization of the various peroxisomal disorders. 相似文献

At least three different subcellular compartments, including peroxisomes, are involved in cholesterol synthesis. Recently, it has been demonstrated that peroxisomes contain a number of enzymes involved in cholesterol biogenesis that previously were considered to be cytosolic or located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Peroxisomes have been shown to contain acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, HMG-CoA synthase, HMG-CoA reductase, mevalonate kinase, phosphomevalonate kinase, phosphomevalonate decarboxylase, isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase and FPP synthase. Moreover, the activities of these enzymes are also significantly decreased in liver tissue and fibroblast cells obtained from patients with peroxisomal deficiency diseases. In addition, the cholesterol biosynthetic capacity is severely impaired in cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with peroxisomal deficiency diseases. These findings support the proposal that peroxisomes play an essential role in isoprenoid biosynthesis. This paper presents a review of peroxisomal protein targeting and of recent studies demonstrating the localization of cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes in peroxisomes and the identification of peroxisomal targeting signals in these proteins. 相似文献

The presence of peroxisomes in mammalian intestine has been revealed formerly by catalase staining combined with electron microscopy. Despite the central role of intestine in lipid uptake and the established importance of peroxisomes in different lipid‐related pathways, few data are available on the physiological role of peroxisomes in intestinal metabolism, more specifically, α‐, β‐oxidation, and etherlipid synthesis. Hence, the peroxisomal compartment was analyzed in more detail in mouse intestine. On the basis of immunohistochemistry, the organelles are mainly confined to the epithelial cells. The expression of the classical peroxisome marker catalase was highest in the proximal part of jejunum and decreased along the tract. PEX14 showed a similar profile, but was still substantial expressed in large intestinal epithelium. Immunoblotting of epithelial cells, isolated from the different segments, showed also such gradient for some enzymes, ie, catalase, ACOX1, and D‐specific multifunctional protein 2, and for the ABCD1 transporter, being high in small and low or absent in large intestine. Other peroxisomal enzymes (PHYH, HACL1, and ACAA1), the ABCD2 and ABCD3 transporters, and peroxins PEX13 and PEX14, however, did not follow this pattern, displaying rather constant signals throughout the intestinal epithelium. The small intestine displayed the highest peroxisomal β‐oxidation activity and is particularly active on dicarboxylic acids. Etherlipid synthesis was high in the large intestine, and colonic cells had the highest content of plasmalogens. Overall, these data suggest that peroxisomes exert different functions according to the intestinal segment. 相似文献

The presence of peroxisomes and their enzymic content were investigated and compared in healthy and neoplastic human colon epithelial cells using cytochemical studies at the ultrastructural level as well as biochemical analyses. Catalase-positive organelles were found to be more numerous in normal than in colonic neoplastic cells. Biochemical assays revealed that no D-aminoacid oxidase or L-alpha-hydroxyacid oxidase activity was detected in normal or tumor tissues. The specific activities of catalase, fatty-acyl CoA oxidase and enoyl-CoA hydratase/3 hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (the so-called peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme of the beta-oxidation system) were found to be diminished in carcinoma cells compared with the control tissue. The fall in catalase activity correlated well with tumor stage according to Dukes, suggesting that this peroxisomal enzyme could be used as a potential prognostic marker. 相似文献

Alcohol oxidase assembles post-translationally into the peroxisome of Candida boidinii 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

Candida yeasts rapidly form peroxisomes of simple function and composition when grown on methanol. Because the induction is both massive and rapid, this system may be useful for a detailed dissection of peroxisomal biogenesis. We report procedures to express peroxisomal proteins in cells and spheroplasts of Candida boidinii to stabilize peroxisomes in a lysate of spheroplasts and to obtain an enriched peroxisomal fraction. With these techniques we have been able to study the assembly of alcohol oxidase, a homo-octomeric flavoprotein, into the organelle in vivo. The primary translation product of alcohol oxidase comigrates on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with the mature subunit. Pulse-chase experiments indicate that the newly synthesized monomer of alcohol oxidase has a half-life of about 20 min in intact cells and 13 min in spheroplasts before conversion to octomer. The monomer first appears in a high speed supernatant of a lysate of spheroplasts and then chases into a purified peroxisomal fraction before or during its octomerization. There is no detectable intermediary organelle involved in this process. 相似文献

Peroxisomes are subcellular respiratory organelles which contain catalase and H2O2-producing flavin oxidases as basic enzymatic constituents. These organelles have an essentially oxidative type of metabolism and have the potential to carry out different important metabolic pathways. In recent years the presence of different types of superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been demonstrated in peroxisomes from several plant species, and more recently the occurrence of SOD has been extended to peroxisomes from human and transformed yeast cells. A copper,zinc-containing SOD from plant peroxisomes has been purified and partially characterized. The production of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals has been studied in peroxisomes. There are two sites of O2- production in peroxisomes: (1) in the matrix, the generating system being xanthine oxidase; and (2) in peroxisomal membranes, dependent on reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and the electron transport components of the peroxisomal membrane are possibly responsible. The generation of oxygen radicals in peroxisomes could have important effects on cellular metabolism. Diverse cellular implications of oxyradical metabolism in peroxisomes are discussed in relation to phenomena such as cell injury, peroxisomal genetic diseases, peroxisome proliferation and oxidative stress, metal and salt stress, catabolism of nucleic acids, senescence, and plant pathogenic processes. 相似文献

Proteomics characterization of mouse kidney peroxisomes by tandem mass spectrometry and protein correlation profiling 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The peroxisome represents a ubiquitous single membrane-bound key organelle that executes various metabolic pathways such as fatty acid degradation by alpha- and beta-oxidation, ether-phospholipid biosynthesis, metabolism of reactive oxygen species, and detoxification of glyoxylate in mammals. To fulfil this vast array of metabolic functions, peroxisomes accommodate approximately 50 different enzymes at least as identified until now. Interest in peroxisomes has been fueled by the discovery of a group of genetic diseases in humans, which are caused by either a defect in peroxisome biogenesis or the deficient activity of a distinct peroxisomal enzyme or transporter. Although this research has greatly improved our understanding of peroxisomes and their role in mammalian metabolism, deeper insight into biochemistry and functions of peroxisomes is required to expand our knowledge of this low abundance but vital organelle. In this work, we used classical subcellular fractionation in combination with MS-based proteomics methodologies to characterize the proteome of mouse kidney peroxisomes. We could identify virtually all known components involved in peroxisomal metabolism and biogenesis. Moreover through protein localization studies by using a quantitative MS screen combined with statistical analyses, we identified 15 new peroxisomal candidates. Of these, we further investigated five candidates by immunocytochemistry, which confirmed their localization in peroxisomes. As a result of this joint effort, we believe to have compiled the so far most comprehensive protein catalogue of mammalian peroxisomes. 相似文献

Central role of peroxisomes in isoprenoid biosynthesis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Peroxisomes contain enzymes catalyzing a number of indispensable metabolic functions mainly related to lipid metabolism. The importance of peroxisomes in man is stressed by the existence of genetic disorders in which the biogenesis of the organelle is defective, leading to complex developmental and metabolic phenotypes. The purpose of this review is to emphasize some of the recent findings related to the localization of cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes in peroxisomes and to discuss the impairment of cholesterol biosynthesis in peroxisomal deficiency diseases. 相似文献

The surprising complexity of peroxisome biogenesis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post-translationally transported into the organelle. This may sound familiar, but in fact, peroxisome biogenesis is proving to be surprisingly unique. First, there are several classes of plant peroxisomes, each specialized for a different metabolic function and sequestering specific matrix enzymes. Second, although the mechanisms of peroxisomal protein import are conserved between the classes, multiple pathways of protein targeting and translocation have been defined. At least two different types of targeting signals direct proteins to the peroxisome matrix. The most common peroxisomal targeting signal is a tripeptide limited to the carboxyl terminus of the protein. Some peroxisomal proteins possess an amino-terminal signal which may be cleaved after import. Each targeting signal interacts with a different cytosolic receptor; other cytosolic factors or chaperones may also form a complex with the peroxisomal protein before it docks on the membrane. Peroxisomes have the unusual capacity to import proteins that are fully folded or assembled into oligomers. Although at least 20 proteins (mostly peroxins) are required for peroxisome biogenesis, the role of only a few of these have been determined. Future efforts will be directed towards an understanding of how these proteins interact and contribute to the complex process of protein import into peroxisomes. 相似文献

Summary We describe the immunocytochemical localization of four peroxisomal enzymes by light microscopy in human liver and kidney processed routinely by formalin fixation and paraffin embedding. Monospecific antisera against catalase and three enzymes of peroxisomal lipid -oxidation (acyl-CoA oxidase, bifunctional protein (enoyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase) were used in conjunction with either the indirect immunoperoxidase method or the protein A—gold technique followed by silver intensification. The sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue had to be deparaffinized and subjected to controlled proteolysis in order to obtain satisfactory immunostaining. Under the conditions employed, peroxisomes were distinctly visualized in liver parenchymal cells with no reaction in bile duct epithelial or sinusoidal lining cells. In the kidney, peroxisomes were confined to the proximal tubular epithelial cells with negative staining of glomeruli, distal tubules and collecting ducts. A positive immunocytochemical reaction was obtained even in paraffin blocks stored for several years. The method offers a simple approach for detection of peroxisomes and evaluation of their various enzyme proteins in material processed routinely in histopathology laboratories and should prove useful in the investigation of the role of peroxisomes in human pathology for both prospective and retrospective studies. 相似文献

The importance of peroxisomes in lipid metabolism is now well established and peroxisomes contain approximately 60 enzymes involved in these lipid metabolic pathways. Several acyl-CoA thioesterase enzymes (ACOTs) have been identified in peroxisomes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs (short-, medium-, long- and very long-chain), bile acid-CoAs, and methyl branched-CoAs, to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A. A number of acyltransferase enzymes, which are structurally and functionally related to ACOTs, have also been identified in peroxisomes, which conjugate (or amidate) bile acid-CoAs and acyl-CoAs to amino acids, resulting in the production of amidated bile acids and fatty acids. The function of ACOTs is to act as auxiliary enzymes in the α- and β-oxidation of various lipids in peroxisomes. Human peroxisomes contain at least two ACOTs (ACOT4 and ACOT8) whereas mouse peroxisomes contain six ACOTs (ACOT3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12). Similarly, human peroxisomes contain one bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (BAAT), whereas mouse peroxisomes contain three acyltransferases (BAAT and acyl-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferases 1 and 2: ACNAT1 and ACNAT2). This review will focus on the human and mouse peroxisomal ACOT and acyltransferase enzymes identified to date and discuss their cellular localizations, emerging structural information and functions as auxiliary enzymes in peroxisomal metabolic pathways.

Peroxisome biogenesis inSaccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles housing a variety of essential biochemical pathways. Peroxisome dysfunction causes a spectrum of human diseases known as peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD). Although much is known regarding the mechanism of peroxisome biogenesis, it is still unclear how peroxisome dysfunction leads to the disease state. Several recent studies have shown that mutations in Drosophila peroxin genes cause phenotypes similar to those seen in humans with PBDs suggesting that Drosophila might be a useful system to model PBDs. We have analyzed the proteome of Drosophila to identify the proteins involved in peroxisomal biogenesis and homeostasis as well as metabolic enzymes that function within the organelle. The subcellular localization of five of these predicted peroxisomal proteins was confirmed. Similar to Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila appears to only utilize the peroxisome targeting signal type 1 system for matrix protein import. This work will further our understanding of peroxisomes in Drosophila and add to the usefulness of this emerging model system. 相似文献

Peroxisomes are particularly abundant in the proximal tubules of the mammalian kidney. We describe the immunocytochemical localization of catalase and three peroxisomal lipid beta-oxidation enzymes: acyl-CoA oxidase, bifunctional protein (enoyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, in human renal biopsies fixed with glutaraldehyde and embedded in Epon. For light microscopy of semithin sections, satisfactory immunostaining required removal of the resin and controlled proteolytic digestion followed by the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Brief etching of ultrathin sections with alkoxide followed by the protein A-gold method were used for electron microscopic localization of the enzymes. The immunoreactive peroxisomes were distinctly visualized in proximal tubular epithelial cells with no staining of any other cell organelles. The results establish the presence of catalase and of peroxisomal lipid beta-oxidation system proteins in human kidney. The immunocytochemical procedure described herein provides a simple approach for the investigation of peroxisomal structure and function in human renal biopsies processed for ultrastructural studies. 相似文献
