We have studied how Pex5p recognizes peroxisomal
targeting signal type 1 (PTS1)-containing proteins. A randomly
mutagenized pex5 library was screened in a two-hybrid setup
for mutations that disrupted the interaction with the PTS1 protein
Mdh3p or for suppressor mutations that could restore the interaction
with Mdh3p containing a mutation in its PTS1. All mutations localized in the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain of Pex5p. The Pex5p TPR
domain was modeled based on the crystal structure of a related TPR
protein. Mapping of the mutations on this structural model revealed
that some of the loss-of-interaction mutations consisted of
substitutions in
Recognition of Peroxisomal Targeting Signal Type 1 by the Import
Receptor Pex5p*
-helices of TPRs with bulky amino acids, probably
resulting in local misfolding and thereby indirectly preventing binding
of PTS1 proteins. The other loss-of-interaction mutations and most
suppressor mutations localized in short, exposed, intra-repeat loops of
TPR2, TPR3, and TPR6, which are predicted to mediate direct interaction
with PTS1 amino acids. Additional site-directed mutants at conserved
positions in intra-repeat loops underscored the importance of
the loops of TPR2 and TPR3 for PTS1 interaction. Based on the
mutational analysis and the structural model, we put forward a model as
to how PTS1 proteins are selected by Pex5p.
