Peroxisome ghosts are aberrant peroxisomal structures found in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients affected by Zellweger Syndrome (ZS), a genetic disorder of peroxisomal assembly. They contain peroxisomal integral membrane proteins (PxIMPs) and they lack most of the matrix enzymes that should be inside the organelle (Santos et al., Science 239 (1988) 1536-1538). Considerable evidence indicates that these ghosts result from genetic defects in the cellular machinery for importing newly-synthesized peroxisomal proteins into the organelle. In contrast to these observations, (Heikoop et al., Eur. J. Cell Biol. 57 (1992) 165-171) report that in Zellweger Syndrome, peroxisomal membranes are located within lysosomes and/or contain lysosomal enzymes. We have undertaken a more detailed and systematic investigation of this matter, employing confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In fibroblasts derived from ZS patients belonging to different complementation groups, peroxisomes were labeled with antibodies against PxIMPs and lysosomes were labeled with an antibody against a lysosome associated membrane protein (LAMP-2) or with LysoTracker. The results unambiguously demonstrated no appreciable colocalization of PxIMPs and LAMPs (or LysoTracker), indicating that peroxisomal ghosts are distinct subcellular structures, occupying separate subcellular locations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D015211 Zellweger Syndrome An autosomal recessive disorder due to defects in PEROXISOME biogenesis which involves more than 13 genes encoding peroxin proteins of the peroxisomal membrane and matrix. Zellweger syndrome is typically seen in the neonatal period with features such as dysmorphic skull; MUSCLE HYPOTONIA; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; visual compromise; SEIZURES; progressive degeneration of the KIDNEYS and the LIVER. Zellweger-like syndrome refers to phenotypes resembling the neonatal Zellweger syndrome but seen in children or adults with apparently intact peroxisome biogenesis.
