Hansenula polymorpha: An attractive model organism for molecular studies of peroxisome biogenesis and function [PDF]
In wild-type Hansenula polymorpha the proliferation of peroxisomes is induced by various unconventional carbon- and nitrogen sources. Highest induction levels, up to 80% of the cytoplasmic volume, are observed in cells grown in methanol-limited chemostat

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 coactivators, energy homeostasis, and metabolism [PDF]
Many biological programs are regulated at the transcriptional level. This is generally achieved by the concerted actions of several transcription factors. Recent findings have shown that, in many cases, transcriptional coactivators coordinate the overall

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.

Regulation of skeletal muscle cell plasticity by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha [PDF]
Exercise triggers a pleiotropic response in skeletal muscle, which results in a profound remodeling of this tissue. Physical activity-dependent muscle fiber plasticity is regulated by a number of distinct signaling pathways.

Peroxisome biogenesis in Hansenula polymorpha: different mutations in genes, essential for peroxisome biogenesis, cause different peroxisomal mutant phenotypes [PDF]
In Hansenula polymorpha, different monogenic recessive mutations mapped in either of two previously identified genes, PER1 and PER3, produced different peroxisomal mutant phenotypes.

Aging impairs peroxisome biogenesis in human B cells. [PDF]
Emerging evidence highlights the critical role of cellular metabolism in immune cell activation, development, and function. Peroxisomes, key metabolic organelles, maintain metabolic homeostasis, yet their role in immune cells remains underexplored. While

Pmp27 Promotes Peroxisomal Proliferation [PDF]
Peroxisomes perform many essential functions in eukaryotic cells. The weight of evidence indicates that these organelles divide by budding from preexisting peroxisomes. This process is not understood at the molecular level.

Genetic alterations in PEX genes lead to peroxisome biogenesis disorder. In humans, they are associated with Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSD). No validated treatment has been shown to modify the dismal natural history of ZSD. Liver transplantation (LT)
