A polypeptide containing the carboxyl-terminal fragment of human
peroxisomal enoyl-CoA hydratase
:3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional enzyme was synthesized in vitro from its cDNA clone. This expression polypeptide was transported into purified rat liver peroxisomes. When the expression polypeptide was incubated with postnuclear supernatant fractions of human hepatoma cells and analyzed by Nycodenz gradient SDS-PAGE and fluorography, it was imported specifically into peroxisomes as indicated by its resistance to
proteinase K
degradation. A deletion of the last nine amino acid residues at the carboxyl-terminus of this polypeptide prevents its peroxisomal import. A tripeptide sequence, SKL, located at the carboxyl-terminus of human bifunctional enzyme appears to be the targeting signal for the peroxisomal importation of bifunctional enzyme in human cells.
