The presence and intracellular localization of peroxisomal integral membrane proteins (PMP) were investigated in liver and cultured skin fibroblasts from control subjects and patients with the Zellweger syndrome and related disorders in which peroxisomes are virtually absent. Immunoblotting experiments showed that 22, 36 and 69 kDa PMPs were present and were confined to the membranous fraction both in the control liver and in the livers from the Zellweger patients. The 22 and 36 kDa PMPs were present in significantly lower amounts in the patients' livers than in the control liver. A reduced amount of the 69 kDa PMP was found in liver from one Zellweger but not in liver from another. The subcellular localization in fibroblasts of catalase and the 69 kDa PMP was studied by indirect immunofluorescence. A characteristic punctate fluorescence was seen in control cells incubated with either anti-(catalase) or with anti-(69 kDa PMP). Incubation of mutant cells with anti-(catalase) resulted in a diffuse fluorescence, whereas with anti-(69 kDa PMP) fluorescent particles were visualized which, in some cell lines, were larger and fewer in number than in control cells. Cryosections of control and mutant cells were examined by electron microscopy using immunogold labeling. Control cells contained small structures consisting of a single membrane enclosing a homogeneous matrix; the membranes reacted with anti-(69 kDa PMP) and the matrix with anti-(catalase). The mutant cell lines contained spherical or ellipsoidal structures whose membranes reacted with anti-(69 kDa PMP); no labeling was observed with anti-(catalase). We conclude that peroxisomal ghosts, the membranes of which contain the 69 kDa PMP, are present in peroxisome-deficient cell lines from all complementation groups studied so far.
