Peroxisomal import occurs through a common translocon PTS1 PTS2 Pex5p Pex7p Pex14p Pex17p + addtl. factors Pex13p Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (e.g. Zellweger syndrome) can affect peroxisomal transport and maintenance
Peroxisomal import occurs posttranslational “extended shuttling” versus “simple shuttling” transport
PMP1 PMP2 Pex19p ? “cytoplasmic chaperone” Pex3p “docking factor”
Mitochondria are highly dynamic and undergo constant fusion and fission cycles
Organelle inheritance Organelles must be faithfully and equally distributed - organelles cannot be generated de novo - mitochondria contain own DNA - etc. Organelles can be distributed stochastically or ordered
