Everything about Glyoxysome totally explained
Glyoxysomes are specialized
peroxisomes found in
plants (particularly in the
fat storage tissues of
germinating seeds) and also in filamentous fungi.As in all peroxisomes, in glyoxysomes the fatty acids are hydrolyzed to
acetyl-CoA by peroxisomal β-odixation enzymes. Besides peroxisomal functions, glyoxysomes possess additionally the key enzymes of
glyoxylate cycle (
isocitrate lyase and
malate synthase) which accomplish the
glyoxylate cycle bypass.
Thus, glyoxysomes (as all peroxisomes) contain
enzymes that initiate the breakdown of
fatty acids and additionally possess the enzymes to produce intermediate products for the synthesis of
sugars by
gluconeogenesis. The seedling uses these sugars synthesized from fats until it's mature enough to produce them by
photosynthesis.
