Like the other cell’s specialized structures, peroxisomes are surrounded by proteins and lipids that protects the rest of the cell from the activity done inside it. They are roughly spherical in shape and conduct almost the same function as other organs do, but only on a much smaller scale....
This latter phenomenon seems to be an unique characteristic of peroxisomes in plants since overt increases in number of peroxisomes per cell do not occur as they do in methanol- or oleate-grown yeast cells or clofibrate-induced rat liver cells [12]. The changeovers in plant peroxisome function...
Theperoxisomeis a single membrane organelle present in virtually all eukaryotic cells. While the enzymatic composition and metabolic function of peroxisomes can vary from cell to cell, tissue to tissue, and organism to organism, there are a few common themes to peroxisomal metabolism inmammalian cells...
Peroxisomes are small, membrane bound organelles, enclosed within the cytoplasmic of the eukaryotic cell. Explore peroxisome function and structure only at BYJU'S.
While the publications described above point to a general loss of peroxisome function during tumor progression, findings from prostate cancer tissue implement a more complex role of peroxisomes in the maintenance of tumor growth. The peroxisomal α-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) expression was found ...
In addition, a second andapparently independent pathway was identified relying onthe function of another dynamin-related protein, Vps1p, asfission factor (80–82). In contrast to plant or human, nointeraction between the scission factors and Pex11 proteinscould be established in yeast, so far. ...
Overexpression of these proteins in combination with laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy co-localized Rab6, Rab8, Rab10, Rab14, and Rab18 with peroxisomal structures. By analogy to the role these proteins play in other organelle dynamics, we may envisage what the function of these proteins may...
we present data obtained from a dual approach based on quantitative interaction proteomics using stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) (23, 24) and live-cell imaging, revealing for the first time the dynamic interaction network around Pex30p and its function in the org...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors stimulate the expression of many genes and mediate glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, cell fate, inflammation, and immune responses [9,10]. Growing evidence suggests that PPARs and their natural agonists control the inflammatory response and barrier function ...
(AhR) is a perfect candidate for mediating the latter effects because melatonin has structural similarity to its natural ligands, including tryptophan metabolites and indolic compounds. Using a cell-based Human AhR Reporter Assay System, we demonstrated that melatonin and its indolic and kynuric ...
