Peroxisome Mini-Libraries: Systematic Approaches to Study Peroxisomes Made Easy
TL;DR: It is shown how these libraries can be "mixed and matched" to create tailor made libraries for screening, and may now be exploited to study uncharted territories in the biology of peroxisomes by anyone, anywhere.

Functional Analyses of a Putative, Membrane-Bound, Peroxisomal Protein Import Mechanism from the Apicomplexan Protozoan Toxoplasma gondii
Alison Mbekeani,Will A. Stanley,Vishal C. Kalel,Noa Dahan,Einat Zalckvar,Lilach Sheiner,Wolfgang Schliebs,Ralf Erdmann,Ehmke Pohl,Paul W. Denny +9 more
TL;DR: expression of Pex5 from the model coccidian Toxoplasma gondii was shown to rescue the import defect of PEx5-deleted Saccharomyces cerevisiae and enhanced (e)PTS1 known to efficiently localise to peroxisome-like bodies in yeast were shown to interact in vitro, indicating that a nonconventional peroxISomal import mechanism may operate in the absence of Px13 and Pex14.

Peroxisome function relies on organelle-associated mRNA translation
Noa Dahan,Yury S. Bykov,Elizabeth A. Boydston,Amir Fadel,Zohar Gazi,Hodaya Hochberg-Laufer,James Martenson,Vlad Denic,Yaron Shav-Tal,Jonathan S. Weissman,Naama Aviram,Einat Zalckvar,Maya Schuldiner +12 more
TL;DR: Localized translation of peroxisomal membrane proteins is crucial for cellular functions as discussed by the authors , but it is difficult to find the optimal protein translation strategy for each cell in real-world applications.
Characterization of proteome dynamics during growth in oleate reveals a new peroxisome-targeting receptor
Eden Yifrach,Silvia G. Chuartzman,Noa Dahan,Shiran Maskit,Lior Zada,Uri Weill,Ido Yofe,Tsviya Olender,Maya Schuldiner,Einat Zalckvar +9 more
TL;DR: A high-content screen uncovered many changes in protein localization in yeast grown in oleate and highlighted a new condition-specific peroxisomal protein, Pex9, which targets a subset of proteins toperoxisomes.
