Abstract excerpt
The targeting of castor bean isocitrate lyase to peroxisomes was studied by expression in the heterologous host Saccharomyces cerevisae from which the endogenous ICL1 gene had been removed by gene disruption. Peroxisomal import of ICL was dependent upon the PTS1 receptor Pex5p and was lost by deletion of the last three amino acids, Ala-Arg-Met. However, removal of an additional 16 amino acids restored the ability...
