Abstract:Peroxisomes are single membrane-bound organelles essential for human health, yet the mechanism of peroxisomal biogenesis remains poorly described. Here using a systematic double screening approach, we identified ribosome-binding protein 1, RRBP1, as a novel peroxisomal biogenesis factor in human cells. We showed that the number of peroxisomes and the levels of peroxisomal proteins are reduced by RRBP1 KO in HEK293T cells. In addition, the processing of peroxisomal matrix proteins, such as ACOX1 and thiolase wa… Show more
