Targeting and Import of Matrix Proteins into Peroxisomes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Peroxisomes were recognized as cellular inclusions almost fifty years ago, but for most of the time since then their biogenesis, i.e. their assembly, differentiation, proliferation, and inheritance, has been poorly understood. For instance, compared with the impressive advances that were made in elucidating how protein constituents are sorted to the ER, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and nuclei, relatively little was known about these processes with respect to peroxisomes until the late 1980s. Then, three significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the biogenesis of peroxisomes led to intensified research that has since shifted the organelle from relative obscurity to the forefront of cell biology.
