Abstract

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fatty acid β‐oxidation is restricted to peroxisomes. Previous studies have shown two possible routes by which fatty acids enter the peroxisome. The first route involves transport of medium‐chain fatty acids across the peroxisomal membrane as free fatty acids, followed by activation within the peroxisome by Faa2p, an acyl‐CoA synthetase. The second route involves transport of long‐chain fatty acids. Long‐chain fatty acids enter the peroxisome via a route that involves activation in the extraperoxisomal space, followed by transport across the peroxisomal membrane. It has been suggested that this transport is dependent upon the peroxisomal ATP‐binding‐cassette transporters Pxa1p and Pxa2p. In this paper we investigated whether Pxa2p is directly responsible for the transport of C18:1‐CoA, a long‐chain acyl‐CoA ester. Using protoplasts in which the plasma membrane has been selectively permeabilised by digitonin, we show that C18:1‐CoA, but not C8:0‐CoA, enters the peroxisome via Pxa2p, in an ATP‐dependent fashion. The results obtained may contribute to the elucidation of the primary defect in the human disease X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

  • The yeast Pxa1p/Pxa2p transporter is involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters from the cytoplasm, across the peroxisomal membrane, and into the interior of the peroxisome.

    “This transporter somehow is involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters from the cytoplasm, across the peroxisomal membrane and into the interior of the peroxisome [Verleur et al., 1997;Hettema and Tabak, 2000].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
