Characterization of peroxisome-associated transcriptome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This is a pioneer genome-wide study of localization of mRNAs to peroxisomes. The findings suggest that translation of a subset of peroxiomal proteins and other cellular metabolic enzymes may be spatially regulated by directing their encoding mRNAs to the surface of peroxisomes. The study provides foundation for more detailed dissection of mechanisms of RNA targeting to subcellular compartments. In this study we performed the genome-wide transcriptome analysis of peroxisome preparations from the mouse liver using microarrays. We demonstrate that RNA is absent inside peroxisomes, however it is associated at their exterior via the noncovalent contacts with the membrane proteins. We detect enrichment of specific sets of transcripts in two preparations of peroxisomes, purified with different degrees of stringency. Importantly, among these were mRNAs encoding bona fide peroxisomal proteins, such as peroxins and peroxisomal matrix enzymes involved in beta-oxidation of fatty acids and bile acid biosynthesis.
