We have analyzed the highly conserved N-terminus of Hansenula polymorpha Pex14p for its function in peroxisomal matrix protein import. The region comprising aa 10-54 of HpPex14p is predicted to contain three alpha-helices. Its alpha-helical structure was confirmed by CD analysis of a synthetic peptide, corresponding to residues 8-58. Deletion of aa 1-21 of HpPex14p, but not of aa 1-9, completely abolished PTS1 and PTS2 matrix protein import. An extensive mutational analysis of the first alpha-helix (aa 10-21) demonstrated that its secondary structure, as well as residues Phe20 and Leu21, are essential for PTS1 and PTS2 matrix protein import.
