Overview

Peroxisomes require the translocation of folded and functional target, proteins of various sizes across the peroxisomal membrane. We have, investigated the structure and function of the principal import receptor, Pex5p, which recognizes targets bearing a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting, signal type 1. Crystal structures of the receptor in the presence and, absence of a peroxisomal target, sterol carrier protein 2, reveal major, structural changes from an open, snail-like conformation into a closed, circular conformation. These changes are caused by a long loop C terminal, to the 7-fold tetratricopeptide repeat segments. Mutations in residues of, this loop lead to defects in peroxisomal import in human fibroblasts. The, structure of the receptor/cargo complex demonstrates that the primary, receptor-binding site of the cargo is structurally and topologically, autonomous, enabling the cargo to retain its native structure and, function.
