In humans, the concerted action of at least 13 different peroxisomal PEX proteins is needed for proper peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations in any of these PEX genes can lead to lethal neurometabolic disorders of the Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS). Previously, we identified the W313G mutation located within the SH3 domain of the peroxisomal protein, PEX13. As this tryptophan residue is highly conserved in almost all known SH3 proteins, we investigated the pathogenic mechanism of the W313G…

Peroxisomal protein PEX13 functions in selective autophagy
TLDR
It is demonstrated that PEX13 is required for selective autophagy of Sindbis virus and of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy) and that disease‐associated Pex13 mutants I326T and W313G are defective in mitophagy, and it is suggested that dysregulation of P EX13‐mediatedMitophagy may contribute to ZSS pathogenesis.
A viable Arabidopsis pex13 missense allele confers severe peroxisomal defects and decreases PEX5 association with peroxisomes
TLDR
The pex13-4 mutant provides valuable insight into plant peroxisome receptor docking and matrix protein import and can be improved by increasing PEX5 levels.
Membrane topologies of PEX13 and PEX14 provide new insights on the mechanism of protein import into peroxisomes
TLDR
PEX14 is a bona fide intrinsic membrane protein with a Nin‐Cout topology, and that PEX13 adopts a Nout‐CinTopology, thus exposing its carboxy‐terminal Src homology 3 [SH3] domain into the organelle matrix.
Super-resolution imaging reveals the sub-diffraction phenotype of Zellweger Syndrome ghosts and wild-type peroxisomes
TLDR
The peroxisome morphology in healthy skin fibroblasts and the sub-diffraction phenotype of residualPeroxisomal structures (‘ghosts’) in ZSS patients that revealed a relation between mutation severity and clinical phenotype are defined.
Mild Zellweger syndrome due to a novel PEX6 mutation: correlation between clinical phenotype and in silico prediction of variant pathogenicity
TLDR
In the milder phenotypes, adrenal insufficiency, hypoacusis, and leukodystrophy together seem to be pathognomonic for ZS, and in silico prediction of variant severity suggested its possible benign effect.
Human Disorders of Peroxisome Biogenesis: Zellweger Spectrum and Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata
The human peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD) are caused by autosomal recessive mutations in any of the 14 PEX genes, which encode peroxins, or PEX proteins, that act cooperatively to assemble
Characterization of peroxisomes and peroxisome deficient cell lines by super-resolution microscopy and biochemical methods
TLDR
The membrane ghost phenotype associated with Zellweger Syndrome Spectrum disorder could be shown to correlate with the clinical severity and import deficiency in patients’ fibroblasts, and supports the hypothesis that PEX35 regulates peroxisome abundance by an Arf1 dependent vesiculation mechanism.
and Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata 4
TLDR
This chapter will review clinical phenotypes, diagnoses, supportive management, and research approaches to developing targeted therapies for human peroxisome biogenesis disorders.
The Matrix Protein Import Complex in Yeast
TLDR
Most recent advances in understanding the formation and function of receptor complexes in the cytosol and at the peroxisomal membrane are reported.

PEX13 is mutated in complementation group 13 of the peroxisome-biogenesis disorders.
TLDR
Results provide strong evidence that mutations in PEX13 are responsible for disease in patient PBD222 and, by extension, in complementation group 13 of the PBDs.
Identification of novel mutations in PEX2, PEX6, PEX10, PEX12, and PEX13 in Zellweger spectrum patients
TLDR
Ten clinically and/or biochemically well‐characterized patients with classical ZS were investigated for defects in all known human PEX genes, and two novel mutations in PEX2 were identified.
Pex18p and Pex21p, a Novel Pair of Related Peroxins Essential for Peroxisomal Targeting by the PTS2 Pathway
TLDR
Pex18p and Pex21p are weakly homologous to each other and display partial functional redundancy, indicating that they constitute a two-member peroxin family specifically required for Pex7p and PTS2 targeting.
Metabolic control of peroxisome abundance.
TLDR
Examination of the distribution of peroxisomal membrane proteins in fibroblasts from PBD patients representing the seven complementation groups for which the mutant gene is known indicates that there may be metabolic control ofPeroxisome abundance.
An isoform of pex5p, the human PTS1 receptor, is required for the import of PTS2 proteins into peroxisomes.
TLDR
Data provide an explanation for the different protein import defects in CG2 patients and show that the long isoform of the Pex5 protein is required for peroxisomal import of PTS2 proteins.
Identification and Characterization of the Human Orthologue of Yeast Pex14p
TLDR
The identification of a human peroxisome-associated protein (HsPex 14p) which shows significant similarity to the yeast Pex14p, which supports recent data suggesting that not all aspects ofperoxisomal protein import are conserved between yeasts and humans.
Identification and Characterization of the Human Orthologue of Yeast Pex 14 p
TLDR
The identification of a human peroxisome-associated protein (HsPex 14p) which shows significant similarity to the yeast Pex14p, a carbonate-resistant peroxISomal membrane protein with its C terminus exposed to the cytosol which supports recent data suggesting that not all aspects ofperoxisomal protein import are conserved between yeasts and humans.
Pex17p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Is a Novel Peroxin and Component of the Peroxisomal Protein Translocation Machinery
TLDR
Pex17p, in addition to Pex13p and Pex14p, is the third identified component of the peroxisomal translocation machinery, and suggests that pex17 null mutant cells are not impaired in peroxISomal membrane biogenesis.
Intracellular Localization, Function, and Dysfunction of the Peroxisome-targeting Signal Type 2 Receptor, Pex7p, in Mammalian Cells*
TLDR
Cloned Chinese hamster (Cl) PEX7 encoding the PTS2 receptor is cloned, finding that nearly the full length of Pex7p, including all WD motifs, is required for its function.
Disruption of the Interaction of the Longer Isoform of Pex5p, Pex5pL, with Pex7p Abolishes Peroxisome Targeting Signal Type 2 Protein Import in Mammals
TLDR
The results indicate that ZPG231 is the first cell mutant providing evidence that disruption of the Pex5pL-Pex7p interaction completely abolishes PTS2 import in mammals.
