ATP-binding cassette transporters are ubiquitous proteins that facilitate transport of diverse substances across a membrane. However, their exact role remains poorly understood. In order to test their function in a fungus life cycle, we deleted the two Podospora anserina peroxisomal ABC transporter pABC1 and pABC2 genes as well as the three genes involved in peroxisomal (fox2) and mitochondrial (scdA and echA) beta-oxidation. Analysis of the single and double mutants shows that fatty acid beta-oxidation occurs in both organelles. Furthermore, the peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathways are both dispensable for vegetative and sexual development. They are, however, differently required for ascospore pigmentation and germination, this latter defect being restored in a DeltapABC1 and DeltapABC2 background. We report also that lack of peroxisomal ABC transporters does not prevent peroxisomal long-chain fatty acid oxidation, suggesting the existence of another pathway for their import into peroxisomes. Finally, we show that some aspects of fatty acid degradation are clearly fungus species specific. 相似文献

Plant peroxisomal proteins catalyze key metabolic reactions. Several peroxisome biogenesis PEROXIN (PEX) genes encode proteins acting in the import of targeted proteins necessary for these processes into the peroxisomal matrix. Most peroxisomal matrix proteins bear characterized Peroxisomal Targeting Signals (PTS1 or PTS2), which are bound by the receptors PEX5 or PEX7, respectively, for import into peroxisomes. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of an Arabidopsis peroxin mutant, pex7-1, which displays peroxisome-defective phenotypes including reduced PTS2 protein import. We also demonstrate that the pex5-1 PTS1 receptor mutant, which contains a lesion in a domain conserved among PEX7-binding proteins from various organisms, is defective not in PTS1 protein import, but rather in PTS2 protein import. Combining these mutations in a pex7-1 pex5-1 double mutant abolishes detectable PTS2 protein import and yields seedlings that are entirely sucrose-dependent for establishment, suggesting a severe block in peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation. Adult pex7-1 pex5-1 plants have reduced stature and bear abnormally shaped seeds, few of which are viable. The pex7-1 pex5-1 seedlings that germinate have dramatically fewer lateral roots and often display fused cotyledons, phenotypes associated with reduced auxin response. Thus PTS2-directed peroxisomal import is necessary for normal embryonic development, seedling establishment, and vegetative growth. 相似文献

Post-germinative growth of oilseeds is dependent on the breakdown of the stored lipid reserves. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase activities (LACS) are critically involved in this process by activating the released free fatty acids and thus feeding the beta-oxidation cycle in glyoxysomes. Here we report on the identification of two LACS genes, AtLACS6 and AtLACS7 from Arabidopsis thaliana coding for peroxisomal LACS proteins. The subcellular localization was verified by co-expression studies of spectral variants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). While AtLACS6 is targeted by a type 2 (PTS2) peroxisomal targeting sequence, for AtLACS7 a functional PTS1 as well as a PTS2 could be demonstrated. Possible explanations for this potentially redundant targeting information will be discussed. Expression studies of both genes revealed a strong induction 1 day after germination resembling the expression pattern of other genes involved in beta-oxidation. Analysis of the substrate specificities of the two LACS proteins demonstrated enzymatic activity for both enzymes with the whole spectrum of fatty acids found in stored lipid reserves. These results suggest that both LACS proteins might have overlapping functions and are able to initiate beta-oxidation in plant peroxisomes. 相似文献

The control of subcellular mRNA localization and translation is often mediated by protein factors that are directly or indirectly associated with the cytoskeleton. We report the identification and characterization of a rice seed protein that possesses both RNA and microtubule binding activities. In vitro UV cross-linking assays indicated that this protein binds to all mRNA sequences tested, although there was evidence for preferential binding to RNAs that contained A-C nucleotide sequence motifs. The protein was purified to homogeneity using a two-step procedure, and amino acid sequencing identified it as the multifunctional protein (MFP), a peroxisomal enzyme known to possess a number of activities involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids. The recombinant version of this rice MFP binds to RNA in UV cross-linking and gel mobility shift experiments, co-sediments specifically with microtubules, and possesses at least two enzymatic activities involved in peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation. Taken together these data suggest that MFP has an important role in mRNA physiology in the cytoplasm, perhaps in regulating the localization or translation of mRNAs through an interaction with microtubules, in addition to its peroxisomal function. 相似文献

Proteins designated for peroxisomal protein import harbor one of two common peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS). In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the oleate-induced PTS2-dependent import of the thiolase Fox3p into peroxisomes is conducted by the soluble import receptor Pex7p in cooperation with the auxiliary Pex18p, one of two supposedly redundant PTS2 co-receptors. Here, we report on a novel function for the co-receptor Pex21p, which cannot be fulfilled by Pex18p. The data establish Pex21p as a general co-receptor in PTS2-dependent protein import, whereas Pex18p is especially important for oleate-induced import of PTS2 proteins. The glycerol-producing PTS2 protein glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Gpd1p shows a tripartite localization in peroxisomes, in the cytosol, and in the nucleus under osmotic stress conditions. We show the following: (i) Pex21p is required for peroxisomal import of Gpd1p as well as a key enzyme of the NAD+ salvage pathway, Pnc1p; (ii) Pnc1p, a nicotinamidase without functional PTS2, is co-imported into peroxisomes by piggyback transport via Gpd1p. Moreover, the specific transport of these two enzymes into peroxisomes suggests a novel regulatory role for peroxisomes under various stress conditions. 相似文献

Peroxisomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are the exclusive site of fatty acid beta-oxidation. We have found that fatty acids reach the peroxisomal matrix via two independent pathways. The subcellular site of fatty acid activation varies with chain length of the substrate and dictates the pathway of substrate entry into peroxisomes. Medium-chain fatty acids are activated inside peroxisomes hby the acyl-CoA synthetase Faa2p. On the other hand, long-chain fatty acids are imported from the cytosolic pool of activated long-chain fatty acids via Pat1p and Pat2p, peroxisomal membrane proteins belonging to the ATP binding cassette transporter superfamily. Pat1p and Pat2p are the first examples of membrane proteins involved in metabolite transport across the peroxisomal membrane. 相似文献

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, beta-oxidation of fatty acids is compartmentalised in peroxisomes. Most yeast peroxisomal matrix proteins contain a type 1C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1) consisting of the tripeptide SKL or a conservative variant thereof. PTS1-terminated proteins are imported by Pex5p, which interacts with the targeting signal via a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain. Yeast cells devoid of Pex5p are unable to import PTS1-containing proteins and cannot degrade fatty acids. Here, the PEX5-TPR domains from human, tobacco, and nematode were inserted into a TPR-less yeast Pex5p construct to generate Pex5p chimaeras. These hybrid proteins were examined for functional complementation of the pex5delta mutant phenotype. Expression of the Pex5p chimaeras in pex5delta mutant cells restored peroxisomal import of PTS1-terminated proteins. Chimaera expression also re-established degradation of oleic acid, allowing growth on this fatty acid as a sole carbon source. We conclude that, in the context of Pex5p chimaeras, the human, tobacco, and nematode Pex5p-TPR domains are functionally interchangeable with the native domain for the peroxisomal import of yeast proteins terminating with canonical PTS1s. Non-conserved yeast PTS1s, such as HRL and HKL, did not interact with the tobacco PEX5-TPR domain in the two-hybrid system. HRL occurs at the C-terminus of the peroxisomal protein Eci1p, which is required for growth on unsaturated fatty acids. 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. We reason that this is due to a cryptic PTS in native Eci1p that can function in a redundant system with the C-terminal HRL. 相似文献

Differential contribution of two peroxisomal protein receptors to the maintenance of peroxisomal functions in Arabidopsis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Peroxisomes in higher plant cells are known to differentiate in function depending on the cell type. Because of the functional differentiation, plant peroxisomes are subdivided into several classes, such as glyoxysomes and leaf peroxisomes. These peroxisomal functions are maintained by import of newly synthesized proteins containing one of two peroxisomal targeting signals known as PTS1 and PTS2. These targeting signals are known to be recognized by the cytosolic receptors, Pex5p and Pex7p, respectively. To demonstrate the contribution of Pex5p and Pex7p to the maintenance of peroxisomal functions in plants, double-stranded RNA constructs were introduced into the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Expression of the PEX5 and PEX7 genes was efficiently reduced by the double-stranded RNA-mediated interference in the transgenic Arabidopsis. The Pex5p-deficient Arabidopsis showed reduced activities for both glyoxysomal and leaf peroxisomal functions. An identical phenotype was observed in a transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing functionally defective Pex5p. In contrast, the Pex7p-deficient Arabidopsis showed reduced activity for glyoxysomal function but not for leaf peroxisomal function. Analyses of peroxisomal protein import in the transgenic Arabidopsis revealed that Pex5p was involved in import of both PTS1-containing proteins and PTS2-containing proteins, whereas Pex7p contributed to the import of only PTS2-containing proteins. Overall, the results indicated that Pex5p and Pex7p play different roles in the maintenance of glyoxysomal and leaf peroxisomal functions in plants. 相似文献

The peroxisomal membrane forms a permeability barrier for a wide variety of metabolites required for and formed during fatty acid beta-oxidation. To communicate with the cytoplasm and mitochondria, peroxisomes need dedicated proteins to transport such hydrophilic molecules across their membranes. Genetic and biochemical studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified enzymes for redox shuttles as well as the first peroxisomal membrane transporter. This peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette transporter (Pat) is highly homologous to the gene mutated in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). The yeast Pat is required for import of activated fatty acids into peroxisomes suggesting that this is the primary defect in X-ALD. 相似文献

Peroxisome biogenesis and the role of protein import 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Peroxisomes are metabolic organelles with enzymatic content that are found in virtually all cells and are involved in β-oxidation of fatty acids, hydrogen peroxide-based respiration and defence against oxidative stress. The steps of their biogenesis involves "peroxins", proteins encoded by PEX genes. Peroxins are involved in three key stages of peroxisome development: (1) import of peroxisomal membrane proteins; (2) import of peroxisomal matrix proteins and (3) peroxisome proliferation. Of these three areas, peroxisomal matrix-protein import is by far the best understood and accounts for most of the available published data on peroxisome biogenesis. Defects in peroxisome biogenesis result in peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), which although rare, have no known cure to-date. This review explores current understanding of each key area in peroxisome biogenesis, paying particular attention to the role of protein import. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae acyl-CoA oxidase follows a novel, non-PTS1, import pathway into peroxisomes that is dependent on Pex5p 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The peroxisomal protein acyl-CoA oxidase (Pox1p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacks either of the two well characterized peroxisomal targeting sequences known as PTS1 and PTS2. Here we demonstrate that peroxisomal import of Pox1p is nevertheless dependent on binding to Pex5p, the PTS1 import receptor. The interaction between Pex5p and Pox1p, however, involves novel contact sites in both proteins. The interaction region in Pex5p is located in a defined area of the amino-terminal part of the protein outside of the tetratricopeptide repeat domain involved in PTS1 recognition; the interaction site in Pox1p is located internally and not at the carboxyl terminus where a PTS1 is normally found. By making use of pex5 mutants that are either specifically disturbed in binding of PTS1 proteins or in binding of Pox1p, we demonstrate the existence of two independent, Pex5p-mediated import pathways into peroxisomes in yeast as follows: a classical PTS1 pathway and a novel, non-PTS1 pathway for Pox1p. 相似文献

Immunoblot analysis of peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes proteins was carried on liver samples from 15 patients with peroxisomal disorders in which accumulation of very long chain fatty acids was always observed in plasma. In 11 cases including 4 cerebro-hepatorenal syndrome (CHRS), 4 neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and 3 infantile Refsum's disease, the liver peroxisomes could not be detected by electron microscopy. Immunoblot analysis revealed the absence, or presence in weak amounts, of the 72-kDa subunit of acyl-CoA oxidase, and the complete absence of the 52-kDa and 21-kDa subunits which are processed from the 72-kDa. The bifunctional protein (78-kDa) was absent or very reduced, as was the mature form of peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (41-kDa). Multiple defects of peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes may be caused by an absence of synthesis or an inability to import proteins into peroxisomes in these patients. One patient, diagnosed as NALD, had no detectable liver peroxisomes but the presence, in normal amounts, of the three peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzyme proteins suggests that the transport of these enzymes into "peroxisomal ghosts" was still intact. The last 3 patients, clinically diagnosed as NALD, had normal liver peroxisomes. One patient had an isolated deficiency of the bifunctional protein and the 2 others had normal amounts of the 3 peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes, as shown by immunoblotting. This suggests that import and translocation of some peroxisomal proteins had occurred and that a mechanism is therefore required to explain the defect in these patients. 相似文献

Here we report the preliminary characterization of Yor180Cp, a novel peroxisomal protein involved in fatty acid metabolism in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A computer-based screen identified Yor180Cp as a putative peroxisomal protein, and Yor180Cp targeted GFP to peroxisomes in a PEX8-dependent manner. Yor180Cp was also detected by mass spectrometric analysis of an HPLC-separated extract of yeast peroxisomal matrix proteins. YOR180C is upregulated during growth on oleic acid, and deletion of YOR180C from the yeast genome resulted in a mild but significant growth defect on oleic acid, indicating a role for Yor180Cp in fatty acid metabolism. In addition, we observed that yor180cDelta cells fail to efficiently import the enzyme Delta3,Delta2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (Eci1p) to peroxisomes. This result suggested that Yor180Cp might associate with Eci1p in vivo, and a Yor180Cp-Eci1p interaction was detected using the yeast two-hybrid system. Potential roles for Yor180Cp in peroxisomal fatty acid metabolism are discussed. 相似文献

We report the characterization of ScPex8p, which is essential for peroxisomal biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells lacking Pex8p are characterized by the presence of peroxisomal membrane ghosts and mislocalization of peroxisomal matrix proteins of the PTS1 and PTS2 variety to the cytosol. Pex8p is tightly associated with the lumenal face of the peroxisomal membrane. Consistent with its intraperoxisomal localization, Pex8p contains a peroxisomal targeting signal 1, and it interacts with the PTS1 receptor Pex5p. However, the Pex5p/Pex8p association is also observed upon deletion of the PTS1 of Pex8p, suggesting that Pex8p contains a second binding site for Pex5p. The pex8Delta mutant phenotype and the observed PTS1-independent interaction with the PTS1 receptor suggest that Pex8p is involved in protein import into the peroxisomal matrix. In pex8Delta cells, the PTS1 and PTS2 receptor still associate with membrane bound components of the protein import machinery, supporting the assumption that the Pex8p function in protein translocation follows the docking event. 相似文献

In germinating oilseeds peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation is responsible for the mobilization of storage lipids. This pathway also occurs in other tissues where it has a variety of additional physiological functions. The central enzymatic steps of peroxisomal beta-oxidation are performed by acyl-CoA oxidase (ACOX), the multifunctional protein (MFP) and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (thiolase). In order to investigate the function and regulation of beta-oxidation in plants it is first necessary to identify and characterize genes encoding the relevant enzymes in a single model species. Recently we and others have reported on the cloning and characterization of genes encoding four ACOXs and a thiolase from the oilseed Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we identify a gene encoding an Arabidopsis MFP (AtMFP2) that is induced transiently during germination. The pattern of AtMFP2 expression closely reflects changes in the activities of 2-trans-enoyl-CoA hydratase and L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Similar patterns of expression have previously been reported for ACOX and thiolase genes. We conclude that genes encoding the three main proteins responsible for beta-oxidation are co-ordinately expressed during oilseed germination and may share a common mechanism of regulation. 相似文献

The peroxisome plays a central role in the catabolic and anabolic pathways that contribute to the lipid homeostasis. Besides this main function, this organelle has gained functional diversity. Although several approaches have been used for peroxisomal proteome analysis, a quantitative protein expression analysis of peroxisomes from different tissues has not been elucidated yet. Here, we applied a 2-DE-based method on mouse liver and kidney peroxisomal enriched fractions to study the tissue-dependent protein expression. Ninety-one spots were identified from the 2-DE maps from pH 3.0-10.0 and 51 spots from the basic range corresponding to 31 peroxisomal proteins, 10 putative peroxisomal, 6 cytosolic, 17 mitochondrial and 1 protein from endoplasmic reticulum. Based on the identification and on the equivalent quality of both tissue preparations, the differences emerging from the comparison could be quantified. In liver, proteins involved in pathways such as alpha- and beta-oxidation, isoprenoid biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism and purine and pyrimidine metabolism were more abundant whereas in kidney, proteins from the straight-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation were highly expressed. These results indicate that tissue-specific functional classes of peroxisomal proteins could be relevant to study peroxisomal cellular responses or pathologies. Finally, a web-based peroxisomal proteomic database was built. 相似文献
