Abstract:Running title:
Drosophila melanogaster Pex7Abstract Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for aspects of lipid metabolism and management of reactive oxygen species. Peroxisome Biogenesis Factor (Peroxin, Pex) genes encode proteins essential to peroxisome biogenesis or function. In yeast and mammals, PEROXIN7 acts as a cytosolic receptor protein that targets a subset of enzymes for peroxisome matrix import.Proteins targeted by PEROXIN7 contain a peroxisome targeting sequence 2 (PTS2) motif. The PTS2 was not fo… Show more
