Peroxisomes are cellular organelles with vital functions in lipid, amino acid and redox metabolism. The cellular formation and dynamics of peroxisomes are governed by genes; however, the regulation of peroxisome abundance is still poorly understood. Here, we use a high-content microscopy screen in to identify new regulators of peroxisome size and abundance. Our screen led to the identification of a previously uncharacterized gene, which we term , which affects peroxisome abundance. encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein, a remote homolog to several curvature-generating human proteins. We systematically characterized the genetic and physical interactome as well as the metabolome of mutants in , and we found that Pex35 functionally interacts with the vesicle-budding-inducer Arf1. Our results highlight the functional interaction between peroxisomes and the secretory pathway.

Exposure to saturated fatty acids (SFAs), such as palmitic acid, can lead to cellular metabolic dysfunction known as lipotoxicity. Although canonical adaptive metabolic processes like lipid storage or desaturation are known cellular responses to saturated fat exposure, the link between SFA metabolism and organellar biology remains an area of active inquiry. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen in human epithelial cells to identify modulators of SFA toxicity.

Lactobacillus plantarum KX041 is a probiotics obtained from early screening, which can relieve inflammation and enrich the anti-obesity intestinal flora, and produce high yield of exopolysaccharides (EPS). The extraction, structure and physicochemical properties of EPS have been completed earlier. However, whether the functional activity of L.

infection, which causes visceral white spot disease, is a significant and economically devastating disease in aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the impact of bacterial infection on the protein composition of exosomes derived from the surface mucus of the hybrid grouper ♀ × ♂. Two hundred healthy fish were randomly separated into challenge and control groups.
