Plant peroxisomal proteins catalyze key metabolic reactions. Several peroxisome biogenesis PEROXIN (PEX) genes encode proteins acting in the import of targeted proteins necessary for these processes into the peroxisomal matrix. Most peroxisomal matrix proteins bear characterized Peroxisomal Targeting Signals (PTS1 or PTS2), which are bound by the receptors PEX5 or PEX7, respectively, for import into peroxisomes. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of an Arabidopsis peroxin mutant, pex7-1, which displays peroxisome-defective phenotypes including reduced PTS2 protein import. We also demonstrate that the pex5-1 PTS1 receptor mutant, which contains a lesion in a domain conserved among PEX7-binding proteins from various organisms, is defective not in PTS1 protein import, but rather in PTS2 protein import. Combining these mutations in a pex7-1 pex5-1 double mutant abolishes detectable PTS2 protein import and yields seedlings that are entirely sucrose-dependent for establishment, suggesting a severe block in peroxisomal fatty acid {beta}-oxidation. Adult pex7-1 pex5-1 plants have reduced stature and bear abnormally shaped seeds, few of which are viable. The pex7-1 pex5-1 seedlings that germinate have dramatically fewer lateral roots and often display fused cotyledons, phenotypes associated with reduced auxin response. Thus PTS2-directed peroxisomal import is necessary for normal embryonic development, seedling establishment, and vegetative growth.
