Recent discoveries utilizing live-cell imaging have shown that plant peroxisomes are extremely dynamic organelles with regard to their shape, distribution and movement, and that actin filaments have a central role in regulating these processes. These recent studies also have shed light on the ...
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....
4 years before the first issue of this Journal (which in 1995 becameHistochemistry and Cell Biology) was published. Since then the “Cinderella” among the subcellular organelles, which was once considered to be a “fossil organelle” and had been regarded as ...
Many soluble and membrane-associated components of the peroxisomal machineries specific for the import of membrane and matrix proteins have been identified. These import machineries probably assemble in a temporally and spatially ordered manner in distinct intermediates along the peroxisome assembly pathway. ...
Research Body ICREA, working as Director of the Neurometabolic Diseases Laboratory at IDIBELL, Barcelona, Spain, investigated the role of mitochondria, the power plant of the cell, in adrenoleukodystrophy, a disease caused by the inactivation of the ABCD1 transporter of fatty acids in peroxisomes....

Formation of the peroxisome lumen is abolished by loss of Pichia pastoris Pas7p, a zinc-binding integral membrane protein of the peroxisome. We have cloned and sequenced PAS7, a gene required for peroxisome assembly in the yeast Pichia pastoris. The product of this gene, Pas7p, is a member...
Peroxisomes play a key role in the oxidation of specific biomolecules. They also contribute to the biosynthesis of membrane lipids known as plasmalogens. In plant cells, peroxisomes carry out additional functions, including the recycling of carbon from phosphoglycolate during photorespiration. Specialized ...
