Function

Component of the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex, a protein dislocase complex that mediates the ATP-dependent extraction of the PEX5 receptor from peroxisomal membranes, an essential step for PEX5 recycling (PubMed:11439091, PubMed:16314507, PubMed:16854980, PubMed:21362118, PubMed:29884772). Specifically recognizes PEX5 monoubiquitinated at 'Cys-11', and pulls it out of the peroxisome lumen through the PEX2-PEX10-PEX12 retrotranslocation channel (PubMed:29884772). Extraction by the PEX1-PEX6 AAA ATPase complex is accompanied by unfolding of the TPR repeats and release of bound cargo from PEX5 (PubMed:29884772).

Activity summary

The protein PEX1 also known as Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 1 plays an important role in peroxisomal function. PEX1 has a molecular mass of around 145 kDa and is widely expressed in human tissues. It belongs to the family of ATPases associated with various cellular activities (AAAs) which are essential molecular machines involved in diverse biological processes. PEX1 localizes mainly to the peroxisomes which means it takes part in the mechanics of peroxisome assembly and function.

Biological function summary

PEX1 interacts in collaboration with other peroxisomal proteins to facilitate the import of matrix proteins into the peroxisome. It exists as part of a hetero-oligomeric complex with PEX6 another AAA protein which forms an important part of the peroxisome biogenesis mechanism. PEX1’s function in this complex contributes to the assembly maintenance and selective import operations within the peroxisome which are critical for cellular homeostasis and lipid metabolism.

Pathways

PEX1 contributes significantly within the peroxisomal biogenesis pathway where it works alongside proteins like PEX2 and PEX6 to maintain the functionality of the peroxisomes. This pathway is pivotal in multiple biological functions including plasmalogen synthesis and the breakdown of very-long-chain fatty acids. These processes tie closely with broader cellular metabolic pathways impacting both energy regulation and lipid processing.

Associated diseases and disorders

Defects in PEX1 are linked to peroxisome biogenesis disorders such as Zellweger syndrome spectrum. These disorders result from compromised peroxisomal function leading to severe clinical symptoms and often fatal outcomes. PEX1 mutations disrupt its interaction with PEX6 impairing peroxisome function. This highlights its important role in peroxisome-related diseases and provides potential targets for future therapeutic strategies to treat these metabolic conditions.
