Abstract excerpt
The peroxin Pex19p functions in peroxisomal membrane assembly. Here we mapped functional domains of human Pex19p comprising 299 amino acids. Pex19p mutants deleted in the C-terminal CAAx farnesylation motif, the C-terminal 38 amino acid residues and the N-terminal 11 residues, maintained peroxisome-restoring activity in pex19 cells. The sequence 12-261 was essential for re-establishing peroxisome activity. Pex19p...
