Pex20p of the Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica Is Required for the Oligomerization of Thiolase in the Cytosol and for Its Targeting to the Peroxisome

Pex mutants are defective in peroxisome assembly. In the pex20-1 mutant strain of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, the peroxisomal matrix protein thiolase is mislocalized exclusively to the cytosol, whereas the import of other peroxisomal proteins is unaffected. The PEX20 gene was isolated by functio...
