Description | This entry represents a group of peroxisomal adenine nucleotide transporters, including the Peroxisomal adenine nucleotide carrier 1/2 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPNC1/2) and the Peroxisomal adenine nucleotide transporter 1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ANT1). Members of this family are found in plants and some fungal species.AtPNC1/2 catalyses the counter exchange of ATP with ADP or AMP. It is required for the beta-oxidation reactions involved in auxin biosynthesis and for the conversion of seed-reserved triacylglycerols into sucrose that is necessary for growth before the onset of photosynthesis [ , ]. In yeast, transport of ATP into the peroxisome is required for beta-oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids, thus required for growth on medium-chain fatty acids, pH gradient formation in peroxisomes and for normal peroxisome proliferation [ , ]. |
