The intrinsically disordered nature of the peroxisomal protein translocation machinery

Abstract: Despite having a membrane that is impermeable to all but the smallest of metabolites, peroxisomes acquire their newly synthesized (cytosolic) matrix proteins in an already folded conformation. In some cases, even oligomeric proteins have been reported to translocate the organelle membrane. The protein sorting machinery that accomplishes this feat must be rather flexible and, unsurprisingly, several of its key components have large intrinsically disordered domains. Here, we provide an overview on these domains … Show more

“…Interestingly, both PEX14 and PEX13 contain large intrinsically disordered regions, a property that may explain the flexibility that the DTM must possess in order to accommodate folded cargo proteins of so different sizes and shapes (reviewed in ref. [57]).…”

“…The interaction between cytosolic PEX5 and the DTM is a regulated event—only cargo loaded PEX5 molecules have access to the DTM ([58] and reviewed in ref. [57])—and occurs in two sequential steps: (1) docking, a reversible interaction and (2) insertion, an essentially irreversible event in the absence of ATP [18,59]. Importantly, PEX5 at the insertion stage displays a transmembrane topology, exposing a small N-terminal domain into the cytosol whereas most of its polypeptide chain faces the organelle matrix [60].…”

“…We can speculate that functional constraints might require heterogeneous distribution of sticky residues among disordered regions. For example, the highly conserved protein PEX5 contains a long N-terminal IDR harboring several “WxxxF/Y” motifs that mediate recognition and import of proteins from the cytoplasm to the peroxisome [102]. Furthermore, random evolutionary processes are likely to result in heterogeneous stickiness patterns.…”

“…Peroxisome matrix protein import is driven by two conserved import receptors-Pex5 and Pex7-which recognize the proteins to be imported into peroxisomes in the cytosol (by means of their peroxisome targeting signals PTS1 and PTS2, respectively) and target them to the organelle. The import receptors converge at the docking complex, which is formed by Pex13 and Pex14 (along with Pex17 and Pex14/17 in yeasts and filamentous fungi, respectively) and that interacts with a second peroxisome membrane complex-the RING-finger complex-to compose the docking/translocation machinery (or importomer) [129]. Following docking, the import receptors are inserted into the peroxisome membrane and after releasing their cargoes they are cycled back to the cytosol.…”
