Abstract excerpt
To elucidate molecular and cellular mechanisms of peroxisome biogenesis, we have isolated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis by making use of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and a frameshift-inducing mutagen ICR191. CHO-TKa cells stably expressing Pex2p were transformed with a cDNA encoding EGFP fused with peroxisomal targeting signal type 2 (PTS2-EGFP), termed...
