Abstract
Peroxisomes are organelles that perform a wide range of essential metabolic processes. To ensure that peroxisomes are optimally positioned in the cell, they must be transported by both long- and short-range trafficking events in response to cellular needs. Here, we review our current understanding of the mechanisms by which the cytoskeleton and organelle contact sites alter peroxisomal distribution. Though the focus of the review is peroxisomal transport in mammalian cells, findings from flies and fungi are used for comparison and to inform the gaps in our understanding. Attention is given to the apparent overlap in regulatory mechanisms for mitochondrial and peroxisomal trafficking, along with the recently discovered role of the mitochondrial Rho-GTPases, Miro, in peroxisomal dynamics. Moreover, we outline and discuss the known pathological and pharmacological conditions that perturb peroxisomal positioning. We conclude by highlighting several gaps in our current knowledge and suggest future directions that require attention.

Abstract
Peroxisomes are highly dynamic subcellular compartments with important functions in lipid and ROS metabolism. Impaired peroxisomal function can lead to severe metabolic disorders with developmental defects and neurological abnormalities. Recently, a new group of disorders has been identified, characterised by defects in the membrane dynamics and division of peroxisomes rather than by loss of metabolic functions. However, the contribution of impaired peroxisome plasticity to the pathophysiology of those disorders is not well understood. Mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) is a key component of both the peroxisomal and mitochondrial division machinery. Patients with MFF deficiency present with developmental and neurological abnormalities. Peroxisomes (and mitochondria) in patient fibroblasts are highly elongated as a result of impaired organelle division. The majority of studies into MFF-deficiency have focused on mitochondrial dysfunction, but the contribution of peroxisomal alterations to the pathophysiology is largely unknown. Here, we show that MFF deficiency does not cause alterations to overall peroxisomal biochemical function. However, loss of MFF results in reduced import-competency of the peroxisomal compartment and leads to the accumulation of pre-peroxisomal membrane structures. We show that peroxisomes in MFF-deficient cells display alterations in peroxisomal redox state and intra-peroxisomal pH. Removal of elongated peroxisomes through induction of autophagic processes is not impaired. A mathematical model describing key processes involved in peroxisome dynamics sheds further light into the physical processes disturbed in MFF-deficient cells. The consequences of our findings for the pathophysiology of MFF-deficiency and related disorders with impaired peroxisome plasticity are discussed. Peroxisomes are highly elongated in cells from patients lacking fission factor MFF. Peroxisomal proteins are not uniformly distributed in highly elongated peroxisomes. Peroxisomal metabolism is unaltered in MFF-deficient patients. Peroxisomal elongations are stabilised through interaction with microtubules. Highly elongated peroxisomes are not spared from degradation.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and death of neuronal cells. To counteract such damage and to favor neurogenesis, neurotrophic factors could be used as therapeutic agents. Octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), produced by astrocytes, is a potent neuroprotective agent. In N2a cells, we studied the ability of ODN to promote neuronal differentiation. This parameter was evaluated by phase contrast microscopy, staining with crystal violet, cresyl blue, and Sulforhodamine 101. The effect of ODN on cell viability and mitochondrial activity was determined with fluorescein diacetate and DiOC6(3), respectively. The impact of ODN on the topography of mitochondria and peroxisomes, two tightly connected organelles involved in nerve cell functions and lipid metabolism, was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy: detection of mitochondria with MitoTracker Red, and peroxisome with an antibody directed against the ABCD3 peroxisomal transporter. The profiles in fatty acids, cholesterol, and cholesterol precursors were determined by gas chromatography, in some cases coupled with mass spectrometry. Treatment of N2a cells with ODN (10-14 M, 48 h) induces neurite outgrowth. ODN-induced neuronal differentiation was associated with modification of topographical distribution of mitochondria and peroxisomes throughout the neurites and did not affect cell viability and mitochondrial activity. The inhibition of ODN-induced N2a differentiation with H89, U73122, chelerythrine and U0126 supports the activation of a PKA/PLC/PKC/MEK/ERK-dependent signaling pathway. Although there is no difference in fatty acid profile between control and ODN-treated cells, the level of cholesterol and some of its precursors (lanosterol, desmosterol, lathosterol) was increased in ODN-treated cells. The ability of ODN to induce neuronal differentiation without cytotoxicity reinforces the interest for this neuropeptide with neurotrophic properties to overcome nerve cell damage in major neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Infection by alphaherpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV), typically begins at epithelial surfaces and continues into the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Inflammatory responses are induced at the infected peripheral site prior to invasion of the PNS. When the peripheral tissue is first infected, only the innervating axons are exposed to this inflammatory milieu, which includes the interferons (IFNs). The fundamental question is how do PNS cell bodies respond to these distant, potentially damaging events experienced by axons. Using compartmented cultures that physically separate neuron axons from cell bodies, we found that pretreating isolated axons with beta interferon (IFN-β) or gamma interferon (IFN-γ) significantly diminished the number of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and PRV particles moving in axons toward the cell bodies in a receptor-dependent manner. Exposing axons to IFN-β induced STAT1 phosphorylation (p-STAT1) only in axons, while exposure of axons to IFN-γ induced p-STAT1 accumulation in distant cell body nuclei. Blocking transcription in cell bodies eliminated antiviral effects induced by IFN-γ, but not those induced by IFN-β. Proteomic analysis of IFN-β- or IFN-γ-treated axons identified several differentially regulated proteins. Therefore, unlike treatment with IFN-γ, IFN-β induces a noncanonical, local antiviral response in axons. The activation of a local IFN response in axons represents a new paradigm for cytokine control of neuroinvasion. IMPORTANCE Neurons are highly polarized cells with long axonal processes that connect to distant targets. PNS axons that innervate peripheral tissues are exposed to various situations that follow infection, inflammation, and damage of the tissue. After viral infection in the periphery, axons represent potential front-line barriers to PNS infection and damage. Indeed, most viral infections do not spread to the PNS, yet the mechanisms responsible are not well studied. We devised an experimental system to study how axons respond to inflammatory cytokines that would be produced by infected tissues. We found that axons respond differentially to type I and type II interferons. The response to type I interferon (IFN-β) is a rapid axon-only response. The response to type II interferon (IFN-γ) involves long-distance signaling to the PNS cell body. These responses to two interferons erect an efficient and rapid barrier to PNS infection.

Abstract
In order to optimize their multiple cellular functions, peroxisomes must collaborate and communicate with the surrounding organelles. A common way of communication between organelles is through physical membrane contact sites where membranes of two organelles are tethered, facilitating exchange of small molecules and intracellular signaling. In addition contact sites are important for controlling processes such as metabolism, organelle trafficking, inheritance and division. How peroxisomes rely on contact sites for their various cellular activities is only recently starting to be appreciated and explored and the extent of peroxisomal communication, their contact sites and their functions are less characterized. In this review we summarize the identified peroxisomal contact sites, their tethering complexes and their potential physiological roles. Additionally, we highlight some of the preliminary evidence that exists in the field for unexplored peroxisomal contact sites.

Abstract
The attachment of organelles to the cytoskeleton and directed organelle transport is essential for cellular morphology and function. In contrast to other cell organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes are evenly distributed in the cytoplasm, which is achieved by binding of peroxisomes to microtubules and their bidirectional transport by the microtubule motor proteins kinesin-1 (Kif5) and cytoplasmic dynein. KifC3, belonging to the group of C-terminal kinesins, has been identified to interact with the human peroxin PEX1 in a yeast two-hybrid screen. We investigated the potential involvement of KifC3 in peroxisomal transport. Interaction of KifC3 and the AAA-protein (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) PEX1 was confirmed by in vivo colocalization and by coimmunoprecipitation from cell lysates. Furthermore, knockdown of KifC3 using RNAi resulted in an increase of cells with perinuclear-clustered peroxisomes, indicating enhanced minus-end directed motility of peroxisomes. The occurrence of this peroxisomal phenotype was cell cycle phase independent, while microtubules were essential for phenotype formation. We conclude that KifC3 may play a regulatory role in minus-end directed peroxisomal transport for example by blocking the motor function of dynein at peroxisomes. Knockdown of KifC3 would then lead to increased minus-end directed peroxisomal transport and cause the observed peroxisomal clustering at the microtubule-organizing center.

Abstract
Peroxisomes are remarkably plastic and dynamic organelles, which fulfil important functions in hydrogen peroxide and lipid metabolism rendering them essential for human health and development. Despite great advances in the identification and characterization of essential components and molecular mechanisms associated with the biogenesis and function of peroxisomes, our understanding of how peroxisomes are incorporated into metabolic pathways and cellular communication networks is just beginning to emerge. Here we address the interaction of peroxisomes with other subcellular compartments including the relationship with the endoplasmic reticulum, the peroxisome-mitochondria connection and the association with lipid droplets. We highlight metabolic cooperations and potential cross-talk and summarize recent findings on peroxisome-peroxisome interactions and the interaction of peroxisomes with microtubules in mammalian cells.

Abstract
In contrast to peroxisomes in normal cells, remnant peroxisomes in cultured skin fibroblasts from a subset of the clinically severe peroxisomal disorders that includes the biogenesis disorder Zellweger syndrome and the single-enzyme defect D-bifunctional protein (D-BP) deficiency, are enlarged and significantly less abundant. We tested whether these features could be related to the known role of microtubules in peroxisome trafficking in mammalian cells. We found that remnant peroxisomes in fibroblasts from patients with PEX1-null Zellweger syndrome or D-BP deficiency exhibited clustering and loss of alignment along peripheral microtubules. Similar effects were observed for both cultured embryonic fibroblasts and brain neurons from a PEX13-null mouse with a Zellweger-syndrome-like phenotype, and a less-pronounced effect was observed for fibroblasts from an infantile Refsum patient who was homozygous for a milder PEX1 mutation. By contrast, such changes were not seen for patients with peroxisomal disorders characterized by normal peroxisome abundance and size. Stable overexpression of PEX11beta to induce peroxisome proliferation largely re-established the alignment of peroxisomal structures along peripheral microtubules in both PEX1-null and D-BP-deficient cells. In D-BP-deficient cells, peroxisome division was apparently driven to completion, as induced peroxisomal structures were similar to the spherical parental structures. By contrast, in PEX1-null cells the majority of induced peroxisomal structures were elongated and tubular. These structures were apparently blocked at the division step, despite having recruited DLP1, a protein necessary for peroxisome fission. These findings indicate that the increased size, reduced abundance, and disturbed cytoplasmic distribution of peroxisomal structures in PEX1-null and D-BP-deficient cells reflect defects at different stages in peroxisome proliferation and division, processes that require association of these structures with, and dispersal along, microtubules.

Abstract
Peroxisomes are ubiquitous subcellular organelles, which are highly dynamic and display large plasticity in response to cellular and environmental conditions. Novel proteins and pathways that mediate and control peroxisome formation, growth, and division continue to be discovered, and the cellular machineries that act together to regulate peroxisome number and size are under active investigation. Here, advances in the field of peroxisomal dynamics and proliferation in mammals and yeast are reviewed. The authors address the signals, conditions, and proteins that affect, regulate, and control the number and size of this essential organelle, especially the components involved in the division of peroxisomes. Special emphasis is on the function of dynamin-related proteins (DRPs), on Fis1, a putative adaptor for DRPs, on the role of the Pex11 family of peroxisomal membrane proteins, and the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Like other subcellular organelles, peroxisomes divide and segregate to daughter cells during cell division, but this organelle can also proliferate or be degraded in response to environmental cues. Although the mechanisms and genes involved in these processes are still under active investigation, an important player in peroxisome proliferation is a dynamin-related protein (DRP) that is recruited to the organelle membrane by a DRP receptor. Related DRPs also function in the division of mitochondria and chloroplasts. Many other proteins and signals regulate peroxisome division and proliferation, but their modes of action are still being studied.

Abstract
Our aim was to determine the role of microtubules in the biogenesis of peroxisomes. Fusion experiments between human PEX16- and PEX1-mutant cells in the presence of nocodazol implied that microtubules were not required for import of proteins into the peroxisomal matrix after cell fusion complementation. We further studied the importance of microtubules in the early stages of peroxisome biogenesis following the microinjection complementation of PEX16-mutant cells. In the absence of nocodazol, nuclear microinjection of plasmids expressing EGFP-SKL and Pex16p in PEX16-mutant cells resulted in the accumulation of EGFP-SKL into newly formed peroxisomes. However, pretreatment of the cells with nocodazol, prior to microinjection, resulted in the inhibition of complementation of the PEX16 mutant and the cytosolic location of the EGFP-SKL. In addition, coexpression of a dominant-negative CC1 subunit of the dynein/dynactin motor complex resulted in the inability to complement PEX16-mutant cells. Both of these treatments resulted in the cytosolic localization of expressed Pex16p. Our results demonstrate that the formation of peroxisomes via the preperoxisomal compartment is dependent upon microtubules and minus-end-directed motor proteins and that the inhibition described above occurs at a step that precedes the association of Pex16p with the vesicles that would otherwise become the peroxisomes.

Abstract
We recently have identified a new cytoplasmic linker protein (CLIP), CLIPR-59, which is involved in the regulation of early endosome/trans-Golgi network dynamics. In contrast with CLIP-170, CLIPR-59 is not localized to microtubules at steady state but is associated with the trans-Golgi network and the plasma membrane. Here we show that the last 30 amino acids (C30) are sufficient for membrane targeting and that two cysteines in the C30 domain are palmitoylated. We demonstrate that CLIPR-59 is associated with lipid rafts via its C-terminal palmitoylated domain. In vitro experiments suggest that CLIPR-59 and its microtubule-binding domain alone have a better affinity for unpolymerized tubulin or small oligomers than for microtubules. In contrast with the CLIP-170 microtubule-binding domain, the CLIPR-59 microtubule-binding domain diminishes microtubule regrowth after nocodazole washout in vivo, showing that this domain can prevent microtubule polymerization. In contrast with the role of linker between membranes and microtubules that was proposed for CLIP function, CLIPR-59 thus may have an "anti-CLIP" function by preventing microtubule-raft interactions.

Abstract
Recent in vivo observations have revealed that peroxisomes are more dynamic and interactive than previously assumed. The growing recognition of the tubular and reticular morphology of peroxisomes in living cells, their association with microtubules, and the dynamic movements of peroxisomes in vivo and in vitro have inspired the query into the investigation of the cellular machinery that mediates such a complex behaviour. The characterisation of the underlying molecular components of this machinery is providing insight into the mechanisms regulating peroxisomal morphology and intracellular distribution.

Abstract
The identification of several peroxisomal proteins in the past decade has deepened our understanding of the biology of peroxisomes and their involvement in human disorders. We report the cloning and expression pattern during the mouse development of a cDNA encoding a novel protein, named PeP, and show that its product is imported specifically to the peroxisome matrix in a variety of cell types. We also demonstrate that PeP is imported to the organelle through the PEX5 receptor pathway, which indicates that the C-terminal tripeptide SKI behaves as a type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1). PeP expression is tightly regulated, as shown by Northern and in situ hybridization experiments. Thus during embryonic development in the mouse, PeP mRNA is detected almost exclusively in the skeletal muscle, whereas in adult mice, strong expression is also found in the heart and brain. In addition, PeP mRNA accumulation is induced after myoblast differentiation in vitro, when myotube formation is promoted. Sequence analysis reveals that PeP has no significant homology to any known protein, except for a short stretch of amino acids containing the fingerprint of the fibronectin type III superfamily, a domain present in proteins often related to molecular and cellular recognition and binding processes. Thus our data suggest a connection between the function of PeP and murine cell differentiation and development.

Abstract
Peroxisomal shape, distribution, motility, and interactions with cytoskeletal elements were examined during interphase in living leek (Allium porrum L.) epidermal cells transiently transformed with a construct encoding the green fluorescent protein bearing a carboxy-terminal type 1 peroxisomal targeting signal. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and time-course analysis revealed that labeled peroxisomes were either spherical or rod-shaped and possessed several types of motility including random oscillations, slow and fast directional and bidirectional movements, and stop-and-go movements. Co-localization studies indicated that most peroxisomes were in close association with actin filaments, while treatment of cells with the actin-disrupting drug cytochalasin D blocked all types of peroxisomal movements. In contrast, the overall spatial organization of peroxisomes and the microtubule cytoskeleton were different, and the microtubule-destabilizing agent oryzalin had no obvious effect on peroxisomal motility. These data indicate that the peroxisome in plant cells is a highly dynamic compartment that is dependent upon the actin cytoskeleton, not microtubules, for its subcellular distribution and movements.Key words: actin filaments, cytoskeleton, green fluorescent protein, leek, microtubules, peroxisomes.

Abstract
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a fundamental role in cell organization and membrane traffic in higher eukaryotes. It is well established that molecular motors are involved in membrane-microtubule interactions, but it has also been proposed that nonmotor microtubule-binding (MTB) proteins known as CLIPs (cytoplasmic linker proteins) have basic roles in these processes. We report here the characterization of CLIPR-59, a CLIP-170-related protein localized to the trans-most part of the Golgi apparatus. CLIPR-59 contains an acidic region followed by three ankyrin-like repeats and two CLIP-170-related MTB motifs. We show that the 60-amino acid-long carboxy-terminal domain of CLIPR-59 is necessary and sufficient to achieve Golgi targeting, which represents the first identification of a membrane targeting domain in a CLIP-170-related protein. The MTB domain of CLIPR-59 is functional because it localizes to microtubules when expressed as a fragment in HeLa cells. However, our results suggest that this domain is normally inhibited by the presence of adjacent domains, because neither full-length CLIPR-59 nor a CLIPR-59 mutant missing its membrane-targeting region localize to microtubules. Consistent with this observation, overexpression of CLIPR-59 does not affect the microtubule network. However, CLIPR-59 overexpression strongly perturbs early/recycling endosome-TGN dynamics, implicating CLIPR-59 in the regulation of this pathway.

Abstract
We characterized more complex peroxisomal structures, i.e., tubulo-reticular peroxisomal clusters, in greater detail under in vivo conditions in COS-7 cells that were transfected with a GFP-PTS1 fusion protein. Live cell imaging revealed the dynamic nature of peroxisomal clusters and allowed a detailed analysis of the motile properties of a heterogeneous peroxisome population. Furthermore, peroxisomal clusters were found to be associated with lipid droplets. The frequency of peroxisomal clusters correlated with an increase in cell density and in the size of lipid droplets. These data provide further evidence for the dynamic nature of the peroxisomal compartment and indicate that peroxisomal clusters have a function in lipid metabolism.
