The peroxisomal AAA-ATPase Pex1/Pex6 unfolds substrates by processive threading [PDF]
Pex1 and Pex6 form a heterohexameric Type-2 AAA-ATPase motor whose function in peroxisomal matrix-protein import is still debated. Here, the authors combine structural, biochemical, and cell-biological approaches to show that Pex1/Pex6 is a protein ...

PEX6 Mutation in a Child with Infantile Refsum Disease—A Case Report and Literature Review
The aim of this paper is to describe the temporal progression and clinical picture of a 2-year-old child with infantile Refsum disease, as well as the diagnostic procedures performed; this case presented multiple hematologic, metabolic, and developmental

A founder mutation in the
Background Zellweger syndrome (ZS) is a peroxisome biogenesis disorder due to mutations in any one of 13 PEX genes. Increased incidence of ZS has been suspected in French-Canadians of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region (SLSJ) of Quebec, but this remains ...

Spectrum of PEX1 and PEX6 variants in Heimler syndrome [PDF]
Heimler syndrome (HS) consists of recessively inherited sensorineural hearing loss, amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and nail abnormalities, with or without visual defects.

The Effect of a PEX6 Mutation on Peroxisome Function [PDF]
Purpose. Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs) represent a group of recessive conditions that cause severe vision loss, sensorineural hearing loss, neurologic dysfunction, and other systemic abnormalities due to abnormal peroxisomal function ...

Identification and characterisation of PEX6 orthologues from plants [PDF]
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) orthologue of PEX6, an AAA ATPase essential for the biogenesis of peroxisomes in yeasts and mammals, was isolated. HaPex6p is immunologically related to Pichia pastoris Pex6p.

The Pex1/Pex6 Complex Is a Heterohexameric AAA+ Motor with Alternating and Highly Coordinated Subunits [PDF]
Pex1 and Pex6 are Type-2 AAA+ ATPases required for the de novo biogenesis of peroxisomes. Mutations in Pex1 and Pex6 account for the majority of the most severe forms of peroxisome biogenesis disorders in humans.

Temperature-sensitive mutation of PEX6 in peroxisome biogenesis disorders in complementation group C (CG-C): comparative study of PEX6 and PEX1 [PDF]
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD), including Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, and infantile Refsum disease, are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal-recessive diseases caused by mutations in PEX genes that encode peroxins,

The PEX1 ATPase Stabilizes PEX6 and Plays Essential Roles in Peroxisome Biology [PDF]
A variety of metabolic pathways are sequestered in peroxisomes, conserved organelles that are essential for human and plant survival. Peroxin (PEX) proteins generate and maintain peroxisomes. The PEX1 ATPase facilitates recycling of the peroxisome matrix

Heimler Syndrome is Caused by Hypomorphic Mutations in the Peroxisome-Biogenesis Genes PEX1 and PEX6 [PDF]
Heimler syndrome (HS) is a rare recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), amelogenesis imperfecta, nail abnormalities and occasional or late onset retinal pigmentation.
