ATP phosphohydrolase (peroxisome-assembling)
An extremely diversified group of enzymes that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to import and assemble peroxisome components into the organelle. Their molecular masses range from 25 to 600 kDa.
most peroxisomal proteins are folded and assembled prior to import. The peroxisomal Lon protease, Pln, plays a role in degradation of unfolded and non-assembled peroxisomal matrix proteins. Whole peroxisomes are constitutively degraded by autophagy during normal vegetative growth of wild-type cells. The peroxisomal Lon protease and degradation of peroxisomes by autophagy are important for cell vitality

AAA+ modules consist of an ASCE domain and a C-terminal attached C-domain. The ASCE domain harbors the Walker A (p-loop) and Walker B motifs as well as the Sensor 1 and arginine-fingers (Arg-finger) within the second region of homology (SRH). The Sensor 2 is located in the C-domain. Hexameric ring formation with ATP binding sides located between the interfaces of the AAA+ protomers, Pex1p/Pex6p forms a type II heterohexameric complex with two AAA+ rings (D1 ring, D2 ring) and large N-terminal domains positioned on top and aside of the double ring structure
since interaction of Pex1p and Pex6p strongly depends on accurate nucleotide binding, heterohexameric complex formation might be a reversible process, autoregulated by the ATPase cycle of the AAA+-peroxins

LITERATURE
analysis of the crystal structures of the extreme N-terminal part of murine Pex1p exposed a double-psi-beta-barrel fold with similarities to adaptor binding domains of p97 and NSF
autosomal recessive mutations in the PEX genes cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders, such as Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and infantile Refsum disease
