Pex3-mediated Peroxisomal Membrane Contact Sites in Yeast
Huala Wu
1. Our current knowledge on the composition and function of peroxisomal membrane contact sites is still in its infancy.
2.
Pex3 is a docking protein that recruits other molecules to the peroxisomal membrane.3.
The novel peroxin Pex37 may function as a redundant, non-selective channel (Singh et al., 2019, The FEBS Journal: febs.15123; Platta & Erdmann, 2019, The FEBS Journal: 1–5).4. The plasma membrane provides a novel platform for anchoring peroxisomes in yeast mother cells.
5. Electron microscopy is the most accurate technique to identify membrane contact sites.
