#Peroxisomes detox metabolites & regulate lipid #metabolism, but how is their protein import coordinated in space & time? This study shows that #circadian, glia-specific Pex5-dependent peroxisomal import controls #sleep behavior & #lipid metabolism @PLOSBiology 🧪 https://plos.io/4puXcvm

Yeast mitofusin Fzo1 localizes to #peroxisomes to promote tethering with #mitochondria. This study shows that these Fzo1-mediated PerMit contacts are required to maintain mitochondrial fusion as #FattyAcid desaturation increases @lbmce_umr8226 @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3UhoKFi
