Abstract
Peroxisomes are involved in a multitude of metabolic and catabolic pathways, as well as the innate immune system. Their dysfunction is linked to severe peroxisome-specific diseases, as well as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. To ensure the ability of peroxisomes to fulfill their many roles in the organism, more than 100 different proteins are post-translationally imported into the peroxisomal membrane and matrix, and their functionality must be closely monitored. In this Review, we briefly discuss the import of peroxisomal membrane proteins, and we emphasize an updated view of both classical and alternative peroxisomal matrix protein import pathways. We highlight different quality control pathways that ensure the degradation of dysfunctional peroxisomal proteins. Finally, we compare peroxisomal matrix protein import with other systems that transport folded proteins across membranes, in particular the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system and the nuclear pore.

Abstract
Peroxisomal integrity and function are highly dependent on its membrane and soluble (matrix) components. Matrix enzymes are imported post-translationally in a folded or even oligomeric state, via a still mysterious protein translocation mechanism. They are guided to peroxisomes via the Peroxisomal Targeting Signal (PTS) sequences which are recognized by specific cytosolic receptors, Pex5, Pex7 and Pex9. Subsequently, cargo-loaded receptors bind to the docking complex in an initial step, followed by channel formation, cargo-release, receptor-recycling and -quality control. The docking complexes of different species share Pex14 as their core component but differ in composition and oligomeric state of Pex14. Here we review and highlight the latest insights on the structure and function of the peroxisomal docking complex. We summarize differences between yeast and mammals and then we integrate this knowledge into our current understanding of the import machinery.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of proteins with ubiquitin plays a central role in nearly all aspects of eukaryotic biology. Historically, studies have focused on the conjugation of ubiquitin to lysine residues in substrates, but it is now clear that ubiquitylation can also occur on cysteine, serine, and threonine residues, as well as on the N-terminal amino group of proteins. Paradigm-shifting reports of non-proteinaceous substrates have further extended the reach of ubiquitylation beyond the proteome to include intracellular lipids and sugars. Additionally, results from bacteria have revealed novel ways to ubiquitylate (and deubiquitylate) substrates without the need for any of the enzymatic components of the canonical ubiquitylation cascade. Focusing mainly upon recent findings, this review aims to outline the current understanding of non-lysine ubiquitylation and speculate upon the molecular mechanisms and physiological importance of this non-canonical modification.

Abstract
Seventy years following the discovery of peroxisomes, their complete proteome, the peroxi‐ome, remains undefined. Uncovering the peroxi‐ome is crucial for understanding peroxisomal activities and cellular metabolism. We used high‐content microscopy to uncover peroxisomal proteins in the model eukaryote – Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This strategy enabled us to expand the known peroxi‐ome by ~40% and paved the way for performing systematic, whole‐organellar proteome assays. By characterizing the sub‐organellar localization and protein targeting dependencies into the organelle, we unveiled non‐canonical targeting routes. Metabolomic analysis of the peroxi‐ome revealed the role of several newly identified resident enzymes. Importantly, we found a regulatory role of peroxisomes during gluconeogenesis, which is fundamental for understanding cellular metabolism. With the current recognition that peroxisomes play a crucial part in organismal physiology, our approach lays the foundation for deep characterization of peroxisome function in health and disease.

Abstract
Proteins composed of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) arrays belong to the α-solenoid tandem-repeat family that have unique properties in terms of their overall conformational flexibility and ability to bind to multiple protein ligands. The peroxisomal matrix protein import receptor Pex5 comprises two TPR triplets that recognize protein cargos with a specific C-terminal Peroxisomal Targeting Signal (PTS) 1 motif. Import of PTS1-containing protein cargos into peroxisomes through a transient pore is mainly driven by allosteric binding, coupling and release mechanisms, without a need for external energy. A very similar TPR architecture is found in the functionally unrelated TRIP8b, a regulator of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channel. TRIP8b binds to the HCN ion channel via a C-terminal sequence motif that is nearly identical to the PTS1 motif of Pex5 receptor cargos. Pex5, Pex5-related Pex9, and TRIP8b also share a less conserved N-terminal domain. This domain provides a second protein cargo-binding site and plays a distinct role in allosteric coupling of initial cargo loading by PTS1 motif-mediated interactions and different downstream functional readouts. The data reviewed here highlight the overarching role of molecular allostery in driving the diverse functions of TPR array proteins, which could form a model for other α-solenoid tandem-repeat proteins involved in translocation processes across membranes.
