Peroxisomes form intralumenal vesicles with roles in fatty acid catabolism and protein compartmentalization in Arabidopsis
Peroxisomes are organelles compartmentalising metabolic reactions such as the breakdown of fats, and are commonly thought of as single membrane-bound compartments. Here the authors show that Arabidopsis peroxisomes contain extensive internal vesicles that form from the bounding membrane in an ESCRT-...

| Summary: | Peroxisomes are organelles compartmentalising metabolic reactions such as the breakdown of fats, and are commonly thought of as single membrane-bound compartments. Here the authors show that Arabidopsis peroxisomes contain extensive internal vesicles that form from the bounding membrane in an ESCRT-dependent process. |
