Background: Tysnd1 and PsLon are newly identified peroxisomal matrix serine proteases. Results: Tysnd1 inactivates its protease activity by self-conversion of the 60-kDa form to 15-and 45-kDa chains that are then degraded by PsLon. Tysnd1 regulates the peroxisomal fatty acid -oxidation pathway via proteolytic processing of -oxidation enzymes. Conclusion: Tysnd1 and PsLon cooperatively regulate fatty acid -oxidation in peroxisomal matrix. Significance: The data shed light on how enzyme turnover is regulated inside peroxisomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
