Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation and characterization of a homologous pair of proteins, Pex25p (YPL112c) and Pex27p (YOR193w), whose C-termini are similar to the entire Pex11p. All three proteins localize to the peroxisomal membrane and are likely to form homo-oligomers. Deletion of any of the three genes resulted in enlarged peroxisomes as revealed by fluorescence and electron microscopy. The partial growth defect on...
