Peroxisomes rely on peroxins (PEX proteins) for biogenesis, importing membrane and matrix proteins, and fission. PEX16, which is implicated in peroxisomal membrane protein targeting and forming nascent peroxisomes from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is unusual among peroxins because it is inserted co‐translationally into the ER and localizes to both ER and peroxisomal membranes.PEX16mutations in humans, yeast, and plants confer some common peroxisomal defects; however, apparent functional differences have impeded the development of a unified model for PEX16 action. The only reportedpex16mutant in plants, theArabidopsis shrunken seed1mutant, is inviable, complicating analysis of PEX16 function after embryogenesis. Here, we characterized two viableArabidopsis pex16alleles that accumulate negligible PEX16 protein levels. Both mutants displayed impaired peroxisome function − slowed consumption of stored oil bodies, decreased import of matrix proteins, and increased peroxisome size. Moreover, onepex16allele exhibited reduced growth that could be alleviated by an external fixed carbon source, decreased responsiveness to peroxisomally processed hormone precursors, and worsened or improved peroxisome function in combination with otherpexmutants. Because the mutations impact different regions of thePEX16gene, these viablepex16alleles allow assessment of the importance ofArabidopsisPEX16 and its functional domains.
