Abstract excerpt
Peroxins are proteins required for peroxisome assembly. The cytosolic peroxin Pex20p binds directly to the beta-oxidation enzyme thiolase and is necessary for its dimerization and peroxisomal targeting. The intraperoxisomal peroxin Pex8p has a role in the import of peroxisomal matrix proteins, including thiolase. We report the results of yeast two-hybrid analyses with various peroxins of the yeast Yarrowia...
