Peroxisomes can undergo fission during cell division, followed by their segregation between mother and daughter cells. Despite species-specific variations in the molecular composition of the fission machinery, the central mechanistic factors can be assigned to two groups: the Pex11 family and the dynamin-related protein family. In a recent study, Singh et al. describe the involvement of a member of the Pxmp2-related protein family in peroxisome fission: the novel peroxin Pex37.

Background: Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD) affect multiple organ systems. It is characterized by neurological dysfunction, hypotonia, ocular anomalies, craniofacial abnormalities, and absence of peroxisomes in fibroblasts. PBDs are associated with mutations in any of fourteen different genes, which are involved in peroxisome biogenesis.

Impaired organelle-specific protein import triggers a variety of cellular stress responses, including adaptive pathways to balance protein homeostasis. Most of the previous studies focus on the cellular stress response triggered by misfolded proteins or defective protein import in the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. However, little is known about the cellular stress response to impaired protein import in the peroxisome, an understudied organelle that has recently emerged as a key signaling hub for cellular and metabolic homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
- Peroxisomes are important organelles that help regulate lipid metabolism and maintain redox balance in cells, playing a key role in human health and diseases, particularly metabolic disorders and ferroptosis.
- The balance between the creation (biogenesis) and degradation of peroxisomes involves complex interactions with proteins and pathways that are essential for their function.
- Understanding how peroxisomes influence ferroptosis—an iron-dependent form of cell death—could lead to new insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapies for conditions related to peroxisomal dysfunction.

Identifying biomarkers for predicting radiotherapy efficacy is crucial for optimizing personalized treatments. We previously reported that rs1553867776 in the miR-4274 seed region can predict survival in patients with rectal cancer receiving postoperative chemoradiation therapy. Hence, to investigate the molecular mechanism of the genetic variation and its impact on the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer (CRC), in this study, bioinformatics analysis is combined with functional experiments to confirm peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (PEX5) as a direct target of miR-4274.
