What's a GeneRIF?

Data strongly suggest that the formation of the ternary cytosolic PTS2 pre-import complex occurs hierarchically.
Title: Peroxisomal targeting of PTS2 pre-import complexes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
appending GFP to Pex7p's COOH terminus shifts Pex7p's intracellular distribution from predominantly cytosolic to predominantly peroxisomal in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Title: Pex7p translocates in and out of peroxisomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
the C terminus of Pex14p contains distinct Pex5p and one Pex7p binding sites and the N terminus could be involved in a Pex5p-Pex14p association inside the peroxisomal membrane
Title: Yeast Pex14p possesses two functionally distinct Pex5p and one Pex7p binding sites.
