We describe for the first time an elongated peroxisome morphology in a patient with PEX10-related cerebellar ataxia. A literature search yielded 14 similar patients from nine families with PEX10-related cerebellar ataxia, most of them presenting their first symptoms between 3 and 8 years of age. In 11/14 patients, the first and main symptom was cerebellar ataxia; in three patients, it was sensorineural hearing impairment. Finally, all 14 patients developed ataxia. Polyneuropathy (9/14) and cognitive impairment (9/14) were common associated findings. In 12/13 patients brain MRI showed cerebellar atrophy. Phytanic acid was elevated in 8/12 patients, while absolute concentrations of VLCFA levels were in normal limits in several patients.

In the absence of Lpx1, yeast peroxisomes show an aberrant vacuolated morphology similar to what is found in peroxisomal disorder patients. Here, we present the crystal structure of Lpx1 determined at a resolution of 1.9 angstrom. The structure reveals the complete catalytic triad with an unusual location of the acid residue after strand beta 6 of the canonical alpha/beta-hydrolase fold. A four-helix cap domain covers the active site. The interface between the alpha/beta-hydrolase core and the cap domain forms the potential substrate binding site, which may also comprise the tunnel that leads into the protein interior and widens into a cavity. Two further tunnels connect the active site to the protein surface, potentially facilitating substrate access. Lpx1 is a homodimer. The alpha/beta-hydrolase core folds of the two protomers form the dimer contact site. Further dimerization contacts arise from the mutual embracement of the cap domain of one protomer by the non-canonical C-terminal helix of the other, resulting in a total buried surface area of some 6000 angstrom(2). The unusual C-terminal helix sticks out from the core fold to which it is connected by an extended flexible loop. We analyzed whether this helix is required for dimerization and for import of the dimer into peroxisomes using biochemical assays in vitro and a microscopy-based interaction assay in mammalian cells. Surprisingly, the C-terminal helix is dispensable for dimerization and dimer import. The unusually robust self-interaction suggests that Lpx1 is imported into peroxisomes as dimer.

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"]]

We found that depletion or partial inactivation of Sec61 in yeast disables peroxisome formation. The ER entry of the early peroxisomal membrane protein Pex3 engineered with a glycosylation tag is reduced in sec61 mutant cells. Moreover, we were able to reconstitute Pex3 import into ER membranes in vitro, and we identified a variant of a signal anchor sequence for ER translocation at the Pex3 N-terminus.
