- Biology, Medicine
- The New England journal of medicine
- 26 April 2007
We report on a newborn girl with microcephaly, abnormal brain development, optic atrophy and hypoplasia, persistent lactic acidemia, and a mildly elevated plasma concentration of very-long-chain… Expand
Analysis of the Carboxyl-terminal Peroxisomal Targeting Signal 1 in a Homologous Context in Saccharomyces cerevisiae*
- Y. Elgersma, A. Vos, +4 authors H. Tabak
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 18 October 1996
Most peroxisomal matrix proteins contain a carboxyl-terminal tripeptide that directs them to peroxisomes. Within limits, these amino acids may be varied, without loss of function. The specificity of… Expand
Molecular characterization of carnitine‐dependent transport of acetyl‐CoA from peroxisomes to mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and identification of a plasma membrane carnitine transporter,…
- C. V. van Roermund, E. Hettema, M. van den Berg, H. Tabak, R. Wanders
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 1 November 1999
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, β‐oxidation of fatty acids is confined to peroxisomes. The acetyl‐CoA produced has to be transported from the peroxisomes via the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix in… Expand
The role of ELOVL1 in very long-chain fatty acid homeostasis and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
- R. Ofman, Inge M. E. Dijkstra, +6 authors Stephan Kemp
- Biology, Medicine
- EMBO molecular medicine
- 1 March 2010
X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene encoding the peroxisomal ABC transporter adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP). X‐ALD is characterized by the accumulation… Expand
Peroxisomal Fatty Acid β-Oxidation Is Not Essential for Virulence of Candida albicans
- K. Piekarska, Els Mol, +6 authors B. Distel
- Biology, Medicine
- Eukaryotic Cell
- 8 September 2006
ABSTRACT Phagocytic cells form the first line of defense against infections by the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Recent in vitro gene expression data suggest that upon phagocytosis by… Expand
Metabolite transport across the peroxisomal membrane.
- W. F. Visser, C. V. van Roermund, L. Ijlst, H. Waterham, R. Wanders
- Biology, Medicine
- The Biochemical journal
- 15 January 2007
In recent years, much progress has been made with respect to the unravelling of the functions of peroxisomes in metabolism, and it is now well established that peroxisomes are indispensable… Expand
Systematic mapping of contact sites reveals tethers and a function for the peroxisome-mitochondria contact
- Nadav Shai, Eden Yifrach, +16 authors E. Zalckvar
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature Communications
- 2 May 2018
The understanding that organelles are not floating in the cytosol, but rather held in an organized yet dynamic interplay through membrane contact sites, is altering the way we grasp cell biological… Expand
Peroxisomal fatty acid alpha- and beta-oxidation in humans: enzymology, peroxisomal metabolite transporters and peroxisomal diseases.
- R. Wanders, P. Vreken, +4 authors E. G. van Grunsven
- Physics, Medicine
- Biochemical Society transactions
- 2001
Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles with an indispensable role in cellular metabolism. The importance of peroxisomes for humans is stressed by the existence of a group of genetic diseases in… Expand
Intrinsic acyl-CoA thioesterase activity of a peroxisomal ATP binding cassette transporter is required for transport and metabolism of fatty acids
- Carine de Marcos Lousa, C. V. van Roermund, +6 authors F. Theodoulou
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 3 January 2013
Peroxisomes are organelles that perform diverse metabolic functions in different organisms, but a common function is β-oxidation of a variety of long chain aliphatic, branched, and aromatic… Expand
Differential substrate specificities of human ABCD1 and ABCD2 in peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation.
