Funded Activity Summary

The protein import machinery of peroxisomes. The peroxisome is a subcellular organelle essential for cellular metabolism. Our understanding of the formation, or biogenesis, of the peroxisome has advanced to the stage where many of the proteins involved in this process have been identified. What is less clear is how these proteins interact to form functional macromolecular complexes in the cell. In this project we will use biochemical approaches to isolate protein complexes involved in peroxisome biogenesis. These studies will help to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of peroxisome biogenesis and contribute to an understanding of organelle biogenesis generally.
