Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles whose dysfunction causes fatal human diseases. Most peroxisomal enzymes are imported from the cytosol by the receptor PEX5, which interacts with a docking complex in the peroxisomal membrane and then returns to the cytosol after monoubiquitination by a membrane-embedded ubiquitin ligase. The mechanism by which PEX5 shuttles between cytosol and peroxisomes and releases cargo inside the lumen is unclear. Here, we use Xenopus egg extract to demonstrate that PEX5 accompanies cargo completely into the lumen, utilizing WxxxF/Y motifs near its N terminus that bind a lumenal domain of the docking complex. PEX5 recycling is initiated by an amphipathic helix that binds to the lumenal side of the ubiquitin ligase. The N terminus then emerges in the cytosol for monoubiquitination. Finally, PEX5 is extracted from the lumen, resulting in the unfolding of the receptor and cargo release. Our results reveal the unique mechanism by which PEX5 ferries proteins into peroxisomes.

Figure 1. PEX5 recycling recapitulated in Xenopus egg extract (A) Xenopus eggs were lysed by centrifugation to generate an extract (the indicated layer between the lipid on top and cellular debris on bottom). The extract was treated with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or the indicated E1 enzyme inhibitors dissolved in DMSO (UBA1, ubiquitin-activating enzyme; NAE, NEDD8-activating enzyme). Import activity was then assessed by incubating with the fluorescent cargo mScarlet-SKL and imaging on a spinning disk confocal microscope; repeated rounds of import into peroxisomes result in the appearance of bright puncta. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the untreated reaction (n = 9 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). (B) Upper scheme illustrates the strategy to deplete free ubiquitin from extract by inhibiting deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) with ubiquitin vinyl sulfone (UbVS); lower scheme shows the approach for restoring peroxisome import activity. On the right, extract was treated with buffer (mock) or UbVS and then supplemented either with buffer or wild-type ubiquitin, wild-type PEX5, or both components together. Import activity was then assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (C) As in (B), except that reactions were supplemented with the indicated components in the absence or presence of the E1 inhibitors. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (D) As in (C). Ubiquitin mutant (ÎGG) lacks both C-terminal glycines. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). All scale bars, 5 μm. See also Figure S1. |

Figure 2. Sustained peroxisomal import requires monoubiquitination and the conserved cysteine in PEX5 (A) Xenopus egg extract was treated with UbVS and then supplemented either with buffer or PEX5 together with wild-type ubiquitin (Ub), methylated wild-type ubiquitin (meUb), or ubiquitin lacking all lysines (Ub ÎK). Import activity was assessed by incubating with mScarlet-SKL and imaging the formation of bright puncta on a spinning disk confocal microscope. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the mock reaction (n = 16 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). (B) As in (A), except that reactions were supplemented with ubiquitin together with wild-type PEX5 or PEX5 mutants in which Cys11 was converted to Ala (C11A) or Lys (C11K). Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (C) Extract was depleted of endogenous PEX5 using beads conjugated to PEX5 antibodies and then supplemented either with buffer or wild-type PEX5, a PEX5 mutant lacking all lysines (ÎK), or PEX5 ÎK in which Cys11 was mutated to Lys (ÎK + C11K). Reactions 5 and 7 were performed with methylated versions of the indicated mutants. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). All scale bars, 5 μm. See also Figure S2. |

Import activity was assessed by incubating with GFP-SKL and imaging the formation of bright puncta by spinning disk confocal microscopy. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the reaction with wild-type PEX5 (n = 16 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). Scale bars, 5 μm. (D) Quantification of experiments shown in (C). (E) Extract was incubated with the indicated PEX5 mutants and GFP-SKL, and peroxisomes were then isolated by flotation. Total extract (0.01%) and the peroxisome-containing fraction (2%) were immunoblotted for PEX5 and PEX14. Molecular weights (kD) are marked on the left. Amounts of PEX5 and PEX14 in the peroxisome fraction were quantified by densitometry (n = 3 independent experiments; âp ⤠0.01 by Student's unpaired two-tailed t test). See also Figures S3âS7. |

Figure 7. Model of PEX5 shuttling Step 1: PTS1 cargo binds to the TPR domain of PEX5 in the cytosol. Step 2: cargo-bound PEX5 is recruited to the docking complex in the peroxisomal membrane, composed of PEX13 and PEX14, using WxxxF/Y pentapeptide motifs (pink). Only the first 5 motifs are shown. Step 3: PEX5 translocates into the lumen along with cargo. Diffusion back into the cytosol is prevented by the high-affinity interaction between the pentapeptide motifs and the lumenal domain of PEX14 (crimson square). Step 4: export of PEX5 is initiated by binding to the ligase complex through an amphipathic helix (blue). The unstructured N terminus then inserts into the ligase pore and emerges in the cytosol. Step 5: the conserved cysteine in PEX5 is monoubiquitinated. Step 6: PEX5 is pulled out of the lumen through the ligase pore by the PEX1/PEX6 AAA ATPase. Extraction is accompanied by unfolding of the TPR domain and release of bound cargo. Step 7: the TPR domain refolds in the cytosol and ubiquitin is removed by deubiquitinating enzymes, resetting PEX5 for a subsequent import cycle. |

Supplemental Figure S7. Validation of peroxisome isolation procedure and import activity of TYSND1-cleavable forms of PEX5 as well as FLAG-tagged PEX5 (related to Figures 3, 4, and 5) (A) Scheme on top depicts the procedure for isolating peroxisomes from Xenopus egg extract. Peroxisome identification was facilitated by pre-incubating extract with mScarlet-SKL. Reactions were then diluted into a dense sucrose buffer and loaded on the bottom of a discontinuous sucrose gradient. Following centrifugation, peroxisomes accumulate on top of the gradient. On the right, fractions harvested from the top of the gradient were imaged by spinning disk confocal microscopy to confirm the separation of fluorescently-labeled peroxisomes (which appear as bright puncta) from cytoplasmic material containing unimported cargo (which appears diffuse). The starting material (input) is boxed in red. On the bottom left, the same fractions were immunoblotted for the indicated peroxins. Arrow indicates the peroxisome fraction. (B) Extract was incubated with buffer (mock) or 1 μM recombinant wild type PEX5 in the presence of the endogenous receptor and GFP-SKL, and formation of puncta was imaged on a spinning disk confocal microscope.

Import activity was assessed and quantified as in (B), relative to the reaction with wild type PEX5 (n = 24, 24, 24, 24, 8, and 9 fields per reaction, in the order shown; bars specify the median; *, p ⤠0.0001 by Student's unpaired two-tailed t-test).
