Abstract excerpt
Pex19p harbouring a prenylation CAAX box functions as a chaperone and transporter for peroxisomal membrane proteins in membrane assembly. By functional phenotype-complementation assay using a pex19 Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant ZP119, we herein cloned a rat cDNA encoding a protein similar to Pex19p, but with a C-terminal hydrophobic segment in place of the CAAX box region. The transcript of this gene was...
