	Figure 1. PEX5 recycling recapitulated in Xenopus egg extract (A) Xenopus eggs were lysed by centrifugation to generate an extract (the indicated layer between the lipid on top and cellular debris on bottom). The extract was treated with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or the indicated E1 enzyme inhibitors dissolved in DMSO (UBA1, ubiquitin-activating enzyme; NAE, NEDD8-activating enzyme). Import activity was then assessed by incubating with the fluorescent cargo mScarlet-SKL and imaging on a spinning disk confocal microscope; repeated rounds of import into peroxisomes result in the appearance of bright puncta. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the untreated reaction (n = 9 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). (B) Upper scheme illustrates the strategy to deplete free ubiquitin from extract by inhibiting deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) with ubiquitin vinyl sulfone (UbVS); lower scheme shows the approach for restoring peroxisome import activity. On the right, extract was treated with buffer (mock) or UbVS and then supplemented either with buffer or wild-type ubiquitin, wild-type PEX5, or both components together. Import activity was then assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (C) As in (B), except that reactions were supplemented with the indicated components in the absence or presence of the E1 inhibitors. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (D) As in (C). Ubiquitin mutant (ΔGG) lacks both C-terminal glycines. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). All scale bars, 5 μm. See also Figure S1.
	Figure 2. Sustained peroxisomal import requires monoubiquitination and the conserved cysteine in PEX5 (A) Xenopus egg extract was treated with UbVS and then supplemented either with buffer or PEX5 together with wild-type ubiquitin (Ub), methylated wild-type ubiquitin (meUb), or ubiquitin lacking all lysines (Ub ΔK). Import activity was assessed by incubating with mScarlet-SKL and imaging the formation of bright puncta on a spinning disk confocal microscope. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the mock reaction (n = 16 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). (B) As in (A), except that reactions were supplemented with ubiquitin together with wild-type PEX5 or PEX5 mutants in which Cys11 was converted to Ala (C11A) or Lys (C11K). Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). (C) Extract was depleted of endogenous PEX5 using beads conjugated to PEX5 antibodies and then supplemented either with buffer or wild-type PEX5, a PEX5 mutant lacking all lysines (ΔK), or PEX5 ΔK in which Cys11 was mutated to Lys (ΔK + C11K). Reactions 5 and 7 were performed with methylated versions of the indicated mutants. Import activity was assessed as above (n = 16 fields per reaction). All scale bars, 5 μm. See also Figure S2.
	Figure 3. Signals targeting PEX5 to peroxisomes (A) Diagram on top shows the locations of predicted α-helices (boxes) and key residues (numbered relative to the long isoform, see STAR Methods) in the N-terminal unstructured region of X. laevis PEX5 (AH1–AH4, amphipathic helices; W0–W7, WxxxF/Y motifs). The PEX7-binding region is enclosed by a gray dashed line. Helical wheels beneath the diagram illustrate the distribution of hydrophobic amino acids in each amphipathic helix. Gray arrows specify the N terminus of each helix; black dots denote residues that were mutated to alanines. (B) Sequence alignments of AH1 and AH2 in PEX5 homologs from the indicated organisms. Residue numbers refer to X. laevis PEX5 (long isoform); dashed line specifies the region shown in the helical wheels (see Figure S4A for alignments of AH3 and AH4). (C) Xenopus egg extract was depleted of endogenous PEX5 using beads conjugated to the PEX5-binding domain from PEX14 and then supplemented with wild-type PEX5 (WT) or the indicated mutants (C11A; ΔW, the specified WxxxF/Y motifs mutated to AxxxA; ΔAH1-ΔAH4, mutations in the hydrophobic face of each amphipathic helix as described above). Import activity was assessed by incubating with GFP-SKL and imaging the formation of bright puncta by spinning disk confocal microscopy. The number of puncta in an imaged field was quantified relative to that in the reaction with wild-type PEX5 (n = 16 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). Scale bars, 5 μm. (D) Quantification of experiments shown in (C). (E) Extract was incubated with the indicated PEX5 mutants and GFP-SKL, and peroxisomes were then isolated by flotation. Total extract (0.01%) and the peroxisome-containing fraction (2%) were immunoblotted for PEX5 and PEX14. Molecular weights (kD) are marked on the left. Amounts of PEX5 and PEX14 in the peroxisome fraction were quantified by densitometry (n = 3 independent experiments; ∗p ≤ 0.01 by Student's unpaired two-tailed t test). See also Figures S3–S7.

(E) Extract was incubated with GFP-SKL and PEX5 (C11A) fusions containing an N-terminal TYSND1 cleavage site from the matrix enzymes AGPS or PHYH (construct N in (D)). Note that the fusions were added at 20-fold excess over endogenous PEX5. Peroxisomes were then isolated by flotation, and total extract (0.01%) and the peroxisome-containing fraction (2%) were immunoblotted for PEX5. Scissors denote constructs with an intact TYSND1-cleavage site; ∅ denotes an inactivated site. Molecular weights (kD) are marked on the left. (F) As in (E), except using only the construct with the N-terminal TYSND1-cleavage site from PHYH.

(G) As in (E), except using PEX5 (C11A) containing the TYSND1-cleavage site from PHYH at the indicated positions, as illustrated in (D). Arrows designate TYSND1-cleaved forms of each fusion protein. (H) Extract was depleted of endogenous PEX5 using beads conjugated to the PEX5-binding domain from PEX14 and then supplemented with a low concentration of the indicated TYSND1-cleavable constructs or the corresponding non-cleavable versions. Accumulation of the TYSND1-cleaved form was followed over time in total extract by immunoblotting. (I) As in (H), except that reactions were incubated in the presence or absence of a recombinant fragment corresponding to the PEX5-binding domain from PEX14, which inhibits import and retains PEX5 in the cytosol. See also Figure S7 and Table S1.
	Figure 5. A signal for PEX5 export (A) Xenopus egg extract was incubated with GFP-SKL and PEX5 lacking the conserved cysteine (C11A) or with mutants in which the residues along the hydrophobic face of AH1 or AH2 were mutated to alanine. The peroxisome-associated population was isolated by flotation and treated with different concentrations of proteinase K, with or without Triton X-100 (TX), and immunoblotted for PEX5. Molecular weights (kD) are marked on the left. (B) As in (A), except that the mutants were fused at the N terminus to a triple FLAG (3 × FLAG) tag. (C) As in (A), except that the constructs depicted in the scheme on the left were used: 3 × FLAG-tagged PEX5; 3 × FLAG-tagged PEX5 with an unstructured non-cleavable signal from PHYH; PEX5 fused to ubiquitin (Ub) via a non-hydrolyzable linker; and PEX5 fused to a non-hydrolyzable version of the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO. Blue arrows indicate protease-resistant fragments. (D) Extract was incubated with GFP-SKL and the indicated PEX5 variants. Peroxisomes were isolated by flotation and solubilized in digitonin, and the PEX5-associated population was isolated with anti-FLAG beads. Bound proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. The total number of peptides corresponding to the indicated peroxins recovered with each construct is shown on the right, from two independent replicates. See also Figure S7 and Table S2.
	Figure 6. Unfolding of PEX5 during export (A) Scheme depicting the constructs used to evaluate whether PEX5 is unfolded during its export from peroxisomes. NB denotes a nanobody against GFP that was fused either to the N-terminal unstructured region of PEX5 (ΔTPR + NB) or to the full-length protein (PEX5 + NB). Pink bars designate WxxxF/Y motifs; blue bars indicate amphipathic helices AH1 and AH2. (B) Xenopus egg extract was depleted of endogenous PEX5 using beads conjugated to the PEX5-binding domain from PEX14 and then supplemented either with wild-type PEX5, PEX5 lacking the conserved cysteine (C11A), or PEX5 (ΔTPR + NB) with or without the C11A mutation. Import activity was assessed by incubating with GFP-SKL or GFP and imaging the formation of bright puncta by spinning disk confocal microscopy. (C) As in (B), except that the PEX5 + NB construct was used, with or without the C11A mutation. (D) The number of puncta in an imaged field, for the numbered reactions in (B) and (C), was quantified relative to that in the reaction with GFP-SKL and wild-type PEX5 (n = 24 fields per reaction; bars specify the median). All scale bars, 5 μm.
	Figure 7. Model of PEX5 shuttling Step 1: PTS1 cargo binds to the TPR domain of PEX5 in the cytosol. Step 2: cargo-bound PEX5 is recruited to the docking complex in the peroxisomal membrane, composed of PEX13 and PEX14, using WxxxF/Y pentapeptide motifs (pink). Only the first 5 motifs are shown. Step 3: PEX5 translocates into the lumen along with cargo. Diffusion back into the cytosol is prevented by the high-affinity interaction between the pentapeptide motifs and the lumenal domain of PEX14 (crimson square). Step 4: export of PEX5 is initiated by binding to the ligase complex through an amphipathic helix (blue). The unstructured N terminus then inserts into the ligase pore and emerges in the cytosol. Step 5: the conserved cysteine in PEX5 is monoubiquitinated. Step 6: PEX5 is pulled out of the lumen through the ligase pore by the PEX1/PEX6 AAA ATPase. Extraction is accompanied by unfolding of the TPR domain and release of bound cargo. Step 7: the TPR domain refolds in the cytosol and ubiquitin is removed by deubiquitinating enzymes, resetting PEX5 for a subsequent import cycle.
	Supplemental Figure S1. Restoration of peroxisomal protein import in DUB-inhibited extract by ubiquitin and PEX5 (related to Figure 1) (A) Xenopus egg extract was treated with buffer (mock) or ubiquitin vinyl sulfone (UbVS), and the UbVS-treated reactions were then supplemented with buffer or wild type ubiquitin at the indicated concentrations.
