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....
However, peroxisomes have also been reported to divide, and recently proteins have been identified in yeast, mammalian and plant cells, which play a role in peroxisomal fission. Among them are dynamin-like GTPases (DLPs) with mechanochemical properties (yeast Dnm1p and Vps1p, mammalian DLP1/D...
First, we review emerging evidence that changes in peroxisome activity can be linked to the epigenetic regulation of cell function. Next, we outline how defects in peroxisome biogenesis may directly impact cellular pathways involved in the development of disease. In addition, we discuss how changes ...

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....
Recent functional genomics analysis together with cell biology studies emphasize the unifying features of peroxisomes rather than their differences. Plant peroxisomes contain 300 or more proteins, the functions of which are dominated by activities related to fatty acid oxidation (>70 enzymes). By ...
In plant cells, peroxisomes carry out additional functions, including the recycling of carbon from phosphoglycolate during photorespiration. Specialized types of peroxisomes have been identified in plants, among them the glyoxysome, which functions in the conversion of fatty acids to carbohydrates. ...
