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.
