Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pex3p has been shown to act at the ER during de novo peroxisome formation. However, its steady state is at the peroxisomal membrane, where its role is debated. Here we show ...

Peroxisome proliferation has been induced with 2-methyl-2-(p-[1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l-naphthyl]-phenoxy)-propionic acid (Su- 13437). DNA, protein, cytochrome oxidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and acid ...

In a finding five years in the making, scientists have discovered a previously unknown compartment inside cellular organelles called peroxisomes. The findings have been reported in Nature ...

Like the Golgi apparatus, the population of peroxisomes in a cell consists of structurally and functionally distinct subcompartments (subforms) that are related through the ordered conversion of one ...
