Abstract excerpt
A remarkable property of the machinery for import of peroxisomal matrix proteins is that it can accept already folded proteins as substrates. This import involves binding of newly synthesized proteins by cytosolic peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (PEX5) followed by insertion of the PEX5-cargo complex into the peroxisomal membrane at the docking/translocation module (DTM). However, how these processes occur remains...
