We describe an unusual mechanism for organelle division. In the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, only mature peroxisomes contain the complete set of matrix proteins. These mature peroxisomes assemble from several immature peroxisomal vesicles in a multistep pathway. The stepwise import of distinct subsets of matrix proteins into different immature intermediates along the pathway causes the redistribution of a peroxisomal protein, acyl-CoA oxidase (Aox), from the matrix to the membrane. A significant redistribution of Aox occurs only in mature peroxisomes. Inside mature peroxisomes, the membrane-bound pool of Aox interacts with Pex16p, a membrane-associated protein that negatively regulates the division of early intermediates in the pathway. This interaction inhibits the negative action of Pex16p, thereby allowing mature peroxisomes to divide.

Salmonella Typhimurium effector SseI regulates host peroxisomal dynamics to acquire lysosomal cholesterol.

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (Salmonella) resides and multiplies intracellularly in cholesterol-rich compartments called Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs) with actin-rich tubular extensions known as Salmonella-induced filaments (SIFs). SCV maturation depends on host-derived cholesterol, but the transport mechanism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol to SCVs remains unclear. Here we find that peroxisomes are recruited to SCVs and function as pro-bacterial organelle.

Background: Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cell therapy has proven successful in clinical trials regarding glioblastoma. Equally important are the hints suggesting peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) ligands being co-expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). This provides a rationale about investigating the possible synergistic effect of CIK cells and PPARs.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a carnivorous fungus that captures nematodes by forming constricting rings, a key feature for its carnivorous behavior.
- Researchers created two mutants unable to form these rings and examined their growth compared to the wild-type strain, revealing differences in metabolic pathways.
- Key findings highlight the importance of cell wall structure, peroxisomes, lipid metabolism, and MAPK signaling in the formation of constricting rings, which could inform future methods of controlling harmful nematodes.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 72 known and numerous novel miRNAs were identified in both non-viruliferous and viruliferous aphids, with differences in expression noted, particularly in viruliferous aphids under one treatment condition.
- * The findings suggest that BrYV influences miRNA expression, with specific targeted pathways involved in metabolism and neuroactivity, which could enhance understanding of BrYV transmission mechanisms.

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations of several genetic variants of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) on clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and possible contribution to heterogeneity of the disease.
Methods: The study groups comprised patients with MODY (genetically confirmed (n = 28), clinically relevant but genetically unconfirmed; MODYX (n = 56)), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; n = 94) and healthy controls (n = 153). PPARA-L162V-(rs1800206), PPARG-C161T-(rs3856806), P12A-(rs1801282), and PPARB/D + 294 T/C-(rs2016520) polymorphisms were genotyped by real-time-PCR.
