The peroxin Pex6p gene is impaired in peroxisomal biogenesis disorders of complementation group 6

Abstract: Human genetic peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs), such as Zellweger syndrome, comprise 13 different complementation groups (CGs). Eleven peroxin genes, termed PEXs, responsible for PBDs have been identified, whereas pathogenic genes for PBDs of 2 CGs, CG-A (the same CG as CG8 in the United States and Europe) and CG6, remained unidentified. We herein provide several lines of novel evidence indicating that PEX6, the pathogenic gene for CG4, is impaired in PBD of CG6. Expression of PEX6 restored peroxisome a… Show more

“…Impairment of Pex1 and Pex6 of the AAA ATPase family (26,40,42,47,52,57) and the recruiter Pex26 of the Pex1-Pex6 complexes (24,25) causes defects in matrix protein import. We investigated whether these peroxins are involved in Pex5 import.…”

“…Peroxisomes in human fibroblasts and CHO cells were visualized by indirect immunofluorescence light microscopy, as described (9). Rabbit antibodies used were antibodies to human catalase (5), peroxisome targeting signal type 1 (PTS1) peptide (22), rat 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (thiolase) (23), and rat Pex14p C-terminal peptide (24).…”

“…Peroxisomes were visualized by indirect immunofluorescence light microscopy using rabbit antibodies against human catalase (25), PTS1 peptide (28), and influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) (29). Antigen-antibody complexes were detected with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat antibodies against rabbit immunoglobulin G (MP Biomedicals-Cappel, Irvine, CA.…”

“…Plasmids for C-terminal deletion mutants of Pex1p were generated by replacing SpeI-NotI region of full-length PEX1 in pPC86 with SpeI-NotI fragment of the PCR products amplified using a forward primer P1F9 (5Ј-CAAACTTGCCCATACGAC-3Ј) with a reverse P1-1151stopR (5Ј-GCTTGCGGCCGCTTAACA TTGTG-AGCTCAAATC-3Ј) and P1-1217stopR (5Ј-TCCTGCGGC-CGCTTAGGATTCGTCCTCTCCACT-3Ј). To clone the full-length PEX6 in pDB, the HindIII (blunted)-NotI fragment of the FLAG-HsPEX6 in pCMVSPORT (25) was ligated into SalI (blunted) and NotI sites in pDBLeu. For cloning of plasmids for C-terminal deletion mutants, pDB-Pex6p-(1-676) and pDB-Pex6p-(1-882) were generated by replacing BssHII-NotI fragment of pCMVSPORT-HsPEX6-(1-676) and -HsPEX6-(1-882) that had been constructed by replacing the XhoI-NotI fragment of the PCR products amplified using a primer P6F2 (5Ј-GGGCTCGGACCGCGAGTC-3Ј) with P6 -677stopR (5Ј-CTGCGCGGCCGCCTAAGCCAG-GAGAGGAAAGCC-3Ј) and P6 -883stopR (5Ј-TGTGGCGG-CCGCCTAAACGCGTAGCTGGGAGGC-3Ј), respectively.…”
