In order to study the membrane topology and the possible function of the rat liver 22 kDa integral peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP 22) at a molecular level, we have cloned PMP 22 from a lambdagt11 expression library and sequenced its cDNA. Hydropathy analysis of the deduced primary structure indicates 4 putative transmembrane segments. The accessibility to exogenous aminopeptidase of PMP 22 in intact peroxisomes suggests that the N-terminus faces the cytosol. A model of the topology of PMP 22 in the peroxisomal membrane is discussed. Homology studies revealed a striking similarity with the Mpv 17 gene product. Lack of this membrane protein causes nephrotic syndrome in mice.
