Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we investigated molecular mechanisms underlying the import of peroxisome-targeting signal type 2 (PTS2) proteins into peroxisomes. Purified Chinese hamster Pex7p that had been expressed in an Sf9/baculovirus system was biologically active in several assays such as those for PTS2 binding and assessing the restoration of the impaired PTS2 protein import in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) pex7...
