PEX5 variant R15
PEX5
Brief introduction
PEX5 is one of two proteins that mediate most of the protein import into the peroxisomal matrix. It recognizes the very c-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (PTS1), then folds itself to a more compact version and interacts with a variety of enzymes.
The whole process is divided into five steps: binding, transport, docking, translocation and receptor recycling.
Variant
We followed a targeted mutagenesis approach to achieve an orthogonal import mechanism − our PEX5 variant should recognize a non-native PTS1 variant which is not recognized with the wildtype PEX5.
