Abstract
Diverse and compelling evidence is presented in support of the participation of the ER in the biogenesisof different kinds of plant peroxisomes. New and previous data coupled with interpretations and opinionsare embedded within four multistep peroxisome assembly models derived from studies with diverse organisms.The main objective of this Chapter is to compare and contrast the varied involvement of the ER in the biogenesisof peroxisomes within the context of the four general models for peroxisome origination, assembly, maturation,and replication. Two of the models depict a unique participation of the ER in the origin and subsequentmaturation of nascent pre-peroxisomes. In the third autonomousmodel, the ER is not involved, whereas in the fourth semi-autonomousmodel, ER-derived vesicles contribute to the maturation/differentiation and replication of Pre-existingperoxisome. The semi-autonomous model pertains to the biogenesis of plant peroxisomes. Withinthis scheme, a subset of peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs), collectively called group I proteins,e.g. peroxin 16 and ascorbate peroxidase, are synthesized in the cytosol and trafficked indirectlyto peroxisomes via ER-derived vesicles. Interestingly, current evidence does not predict the origin ofnew plant peroxisomes directly from domains of the ER. Instead, mature pre-existing peroxisomes apparentlyreplicate via constitutive duplication (fission) in response to the action of one or more isoforms of a peroxinhomolog designated as peroxin 11. Nascent daughter organelles acquire membrane phospholipids and PMPs fromER-derived vesicles.
