TL;DR: The predicted Pas1p sequence contains two putative ATP-binding sites and reveals a structural relationship to three other groups of proteins associated with different biological processes such as vesicle-mediated protein transport, control of cell cycle, and modulation of gene expression of the human immunodeficiency virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of peroxisome-deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
TL;DR: Crossing of pas1-1 and pas2 strains resulted in diploid cells that had regained the ability to grow on oleic acid as sole carbon source and to form peroxisomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAS7 encodes a novel yeast member of the WD-40 protein family essential for import of 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase, a PTS2-containing protein, into peroxisomes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that Pas7p mediates the binding of thiolase to these organelles in peroxisomes, and cloned PAS7 by complementation of the oleic acid non‐utilizing phenotype of the pas7‐1 strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAS3, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene encoding a peroxisomal integral membrane protein essential for peroxisome biogenesis.
TL;DR: Saccharomyces cerevisiae pas3-mutants are described which conform the pas-phenotype recently reported for the peroxisomal assembly mutants pas1-1 and pas2, consistent with the possibility that Pas3p is one component of the per oxisomal import machinery
