No peroxisome is an island — Peroxisome contact sites
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2016 In order to optimize their multiple cellular functions, peroxisomes must collaborate and communicate with the surrounding organelles. A common way of communication between organelles is through physical membrane contact sites where membranes of two organelles are tethered, facilitating exchange of small molecules and intracellular signaling.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989 The effect of gemfibrozil on the fine structure of peroxisomes across the rat liver lobule was investigated by light and electron microscopy using the alkaline diaminobenzidine (DAB) medium for the visualization of catalase peroxidatic activity. The oral

Peroxisomes are required for lipid metabolism and muscle function in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles that perform lipid and reactive oxygen species metabolism. Defects in peroxisome biogenesis cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs).

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2006 Genomes provide us with a blue print for the potential of a cell. However, the activity of a cell is expressed in its proteome. Full understanding of the complexity of cells demands a comprehensive view of the proteome; its interactions, activity states and organization.

Peroxisome Synthesis in the Absence of Preexisting Peroxisomes [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1999 Zellweger syndrome and related diseases are caused by defective import of peroxisomal matrix proteins. In all previously reported Zellweger syndrome cell lines the defect could be assigned to the matrix protein import pathway since peroxisome membranes were present, and import of integral peroxisomal membrane proteins was normal.

Degradation of plant peroxisomes by autophagy
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Peroxisomes play a critical role in many metabolic pathways during the plant life cycle. It has been proposed that the transition between different types of peroxisomes involves the degradation of obsolete peroxisomal enzymes via proteolytic activities ...

Peroxisome Metabolism in Cancer
Cells, 2020 Peroxisomes are metabolic organelles involved in lipid metabolism and cellular redoxbalance. Peroxisomal function is central to fatty acid oxidation, ether phospholipid synthesis, bile acidsynthesis, and reactive oxygen species homeostasis.

Research progress on the metabolic functions and protein compositions of plant peroxisomes
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版Peroxisomes are multifunctional organelles that are ubiquitous in eukaryotes. In plants, peroxisomes have very diverse functions in primary and secondary metabolisms and play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in stress response ...

A critical reflection on the principles of peroxisome formation in yeast
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 We have evaluated the current knowledge on peroxisome proliferation in yeast. In wild-type cells, peroxisomes multiply predominantly by fission at conditions that require peroxisome function(s) for growth.
