Fig. 7: Working model—peroxisome cores may serve for metabolic compartmentalization.
From: Peroxisomal core structures segregate diverse metabolic pathways
Uox1 and Mac3 assemble in detergent resistant cores, while several β-oxidation enzymes are distributed homogeneously in the entire peroxisomal lumen (left). Variation of motifs for self-assembly affected localization of Uox1 and Mac3 and growth of cells challenged with oleic acid medium (right).
