The chapter focuses on the basic experimental evidence concerning the functional roles of Pex4p and AAA peroxins in Pex5p recycling and matrix protein import to combine and discuss them in a unified model. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes play a central role in the process of ubiquitination and function to bridge the first, nonspecific step of ubiquitin activation by E1 with the transfer of activated ubiquitin to target-proteins by substrate-specific E3 enzymes. Pex4p/Ubc10p is a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme essential for peroxisomal biogenesis. Pex4p contains the catalytically relevant active site Cys residue of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes within the core Ubc fold, while AAAs are mechanoenzymes that manipulate the structure of substrate proteins, and thereby unfold them or disassemble protein complexes. The energy dependence of peroxisomal protein import is caused by the cycle of the peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS) receptors. A model is emerging in which the previously disparate roles of Pex4p and the AAA peroxins are combined in a concerted reaction sequence. However, it will be a challenge to elucidate the way ATP-dependent receptor dislocation is mechanistically linked to the import of folded proteins."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/S1874-6047(07)25021-8"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/67555"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Elsevier"],["dc.relation.isbn","9780123739162"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Molecular Machines Involved in Protein Transport across Cellular Membranes"],["dc.title","Function of the Ubiquitin‐Conjugating Enzyme Pex4p and the AAA Peroxin Complex Pex1p/Pex6p in Peroxisomal Matrix Protein Transport"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The possible involvement of this lipid modification in peroxisome biogenesis, the degree to which Pex19p is farnesylated, and its molecular function are unknown or controversial. We resolve these issues by first showing that the complete pool of Pex19p is processed by farnesyltransferase in vivo and that this modification is independent of peroxisome induction or the Pex19p membrane anchor Pex3p. Furthermore, genomic mutations of PEX19 prove that farnesylation is essential for proper matrix protein import into peroxisomes, which is supposed to be caused indirectly by a defect in peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP) targeting or stability. This assumption is corroborated by the observation that mutants defective in Pex19p farnesylation are characterized by a significantly reduced steady-state concentration of prominent PMPs (Pex11p, Ant1p) but also of essential components of the peroxisomal import machinery, especially the RING peroxins, which were almost depleted from the importomer. In vivo and in vitro, PMP recognition is only efficient when Pex19p is farnesylated with affinities differing by a factor of 10 between the non-modified and wild-type forms of Pex19p. Farnesylation is likely to induce a conformational change in Pex19p. Thus, isoprenylation of Pex19p contributes to substrate membrane protein recognition for the topogenesis of PMPs, and our results highlight the importance of lipid modifications in protein-protein interactions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1074/jbc.M109.016584"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19451657"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/67540"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1083-351X"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-9258"],["dc.title","Farnesylation of pex19p is required for its structural integrity and function in peroxisome biogenesis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
