Peroxisomes are important single membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells, with various proteins involved in their biogenesis and function. These proteins undergo regulatory post-translational modifications which are critical for understanding their functional significance. Studies have attempted to identify and determine the impact of post-translational modifications on peroxisome structure and function.
Peroxisomes are single membrane-bound organelles important for the optimum functioning of eukaryotic cells. Seminal discoveries in the field of peroxisomes are made using yeast as a model. Several proteins required for the biogenesis and function of peroxisomes are identified to date. As with proteins involved in other major cellular pathways, peroxisomal proteins are also subjected to regulatory post-translational modifications. Identification, characterization and mapping of these modifications to specific amino acid residues on proteins are critical toward understanding their functional significance. Several studies have tried to identify post-translational modifications of peroxisomal proteins and determine their impact on peroxisome structure and function. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of the various post-translational modifications that govern the peroxisome dynamics in yeast.
