The 41-kDa membrane-anchored peroxin Pex14p functions as the peroxisome targeting signal (PTS) receptor-mediated, initial import site for matrix proteins. We here identify the functional domains of Pex14p involved in the assembly of import site subcomplexes. The minimal region of Pex14p required for restoring impaired protein import in pex14 Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant lies at residues 21-260 in the primary sequence. A highly conserved N-terminal region, encompassing residues 21-70, interacts with the PTS1 receptor Pex5p, Pex13p, and Pex19p that is essential for membrane biogenesis. N-terminal residues 21-140, including a hydrophobic segment at 110-138, function as a topogenic sequence. Site-directed mutagenesis, size fractionation, and chemical cross-linking analyses demonstrate that the coiled-coil domain at residues 156-197 regulates homodimerization of Pex14p. Moreover, AXXXA and GXXXG motifs in the transmembrane segment mediate homomeric oligomerization of Pex14p, giving rise to assembly of high molecular mass complexes and thereby assuring Pex13p-dependent localization of Pex14p to peroxisomes. Pex5p, Pex13p, and Pex19p bind to Pex14p homo-oligomers with different molecular masses, whereas cargo-unloaded Pex5p apparently disassembles Pex14p homo-oligomers. Thus, Pex14p most likely forms several distinct peroxin complexes involved in peroxisomal matrix protein import.
