Journal ArticleDOI

The membrane of peroxisomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is impermeable to NAD(H) and acetyl-CoA under in vivo conditions.

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that the peroxisomal membrane is impermeable to NAD(H) and acetyl‐CoA in vivo, and predict the existence of metabolite carriers in the per oxisomal membranes to shuttle metabolites from peroxISomes to cytoplasm and vice versa.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ABC transporter proteins Pat1 and Pat2 are required for import of long-chain fatty acids into peroxisomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: Peroxisomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are the exclusive site of fatty acid beta‐oxidation and it is found that fatty acids reach the peroxisomal matrix via two independent pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for Vps1p, actin, and the Myo2p motor in peroxisome abundance and inheritance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: In vivo time-lapse microscopy reveals that the number of peroxisomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is fairly constant and that a subset of the organelles are targeted and segregated to the bud in a highly ordered, vectorial process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Excised group II introns in yeast mitochondria are lariats and can be formed by self-splicing in vitro.

TL;DR: Excised group II introns in yeast mitochondria appear as covalently closed circles under the electron microscope and are branched and resemble the lariats arising through splicing of nuclear pre-mRNAs in yeast and higher eukaryotes.
