Abstract excerpt
The peroxisomal matrix protein import is facilitated by cycling receptor molecules that shuttle between the cytosol and the peroxisomal membrane. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the import of proteins harboring a peroxisomal targeting signal of type II (PTS2) is mediated by the receptor Pex7p and its co-receptor Pex18p. Here we demonstrate that Pex18p undergoes two kinds of ubiquitin modifications. One of...
