}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
- Biology, MedicineEMBO reports
- 2017
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.
