Disease
[SPYA_HUMAN] Defects in AGXT are the cause of hyperoxaluria primary type 1 (HP1) [MIM:259900]; also known as primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH1) and oxalosis I. HP1 is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of glyoxylate metabolism characterized by increased excretion of oxalate and glycolate, and the progressive accumulation of insoluble calcium oxalate in the kidney and urinary tract.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [PEX5_HUMAN] Defects in PEX5 are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2A (PBD2A) [MIM:214110]. A fatal peroxisome biogenesis disorder belonging to the Zellweger disease spectrum and characterized clinically by severe neurologic dysfunction with profound psychomotor retardation, severe hypotonia and neonatal seizures, craniofacial abnormalities, liver dysfunction, and biochemically by the absence of peroxisomes. Additional features include cardiovascular and skeletal defects, renal cysts, ocular abnormalities, and hearing impairment. Most severely affected individuals with the classic form of the disease (classic Zellweger syndrome) die within the first year of life.[19] Defects in PEX5 are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2B (PBD2B) [MIM:202370]. A peroxisome biogenesis disorder that includes neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and infantile Refsum disease (IRD), two milder manifestations of the Zellweger disease spectrum. The clinical course of patients with the NALD and IRD presentation is variable and may include developmental delay, hypotonia, liver dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, retinal dystrophy and vision impairment. Children with the NALD presentation may reach their teens, while patients with the IRD presentation may reach adulthood. The clinical conditions are often slowly progressive in particular with respect to loss of hearing and vision. The biochemical abnormalities include accumulation of phytanic acid, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid and pipecolic acid.
Function
[PEX5_HUMAN] Binds to the C-terminal PTS1-type tripeptide peroxisomal targeting signal (SKL-type) and plays an essential role in peroxisomal protein import.[20] [21] [22]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Peroxisomes entirely rely on the import of their proteome across the peroxisomal membrane. Recognition efficiencies of peroxisomal proteins vary by more than 1000-fold but the molecular rationale behind their subsequent differential import and sorting has remained enigmatic. Using the protein cargo alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase as a model, we have discovered an unexpected increase from 34% to 80% in peroxisomal import efficiency of a single-residue mutant. By high-resolution structural analysis, we found that it is the recognition receptor PEX5 that adapts its conformation for high-affinity binding rather than the cargo protein signal motif as previously thought. During receptor recognition, the binding cavity of the receptor shrinks to one third of its original volume. This process is impeded in the wild-type protein cargo because of a bulky side chain within the recognition motif, which blocks contraction of the PEX5 binding cavity. Our data provide a new insight on direct protein import efficiency by removal rather than addition of an apparent specific sequence signature that is generally applicable to peroxisomal matrix proteins and to other receptor recognition processes.
Ligand-induced compaction of the PEX5 receptor-binding cavity impacts protein import efficiency into peroxisomes.,Fodor K, Wolf J, Reglinski K, Passon DM, Lou Y, Schliebs W, Erdmann R, Wilmanns M Traffic. 2014 Nov 5. doi: 10.1111/tra.12238. PMID:25369882[23]
