Abstract excerpt
We isolated peroxisome biogenesis-defective mutants from rat PEX2-transformed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, using the 9-(1'-pyrene)nonanol/ultraviolet method. A total of 18 mutant cell clones showing cytosolic localization of catalase were isolated. By complementation group (CG) analysis by means of PEX cDNA transfection and cell fusion, cell mutants, ZP124 and ZP126, were found to belong to two novel CGs of...
