Peroxisomal biogenesis factor that has pleiotropic roles in various cellular processes (PubMed:35323036). Regulates autophagy and biogenesis of peroxisomes and Woronin bodies (PubMed:35323036). Plays important roles in mycelial growth and development and stress response (PubMed:35323036). Is also essential for conidiation and fatty acid utilization (PubMed:35323036). Required for nematode predation via trap formation (PubMed:35323036). Interacts with PEX1 to form a high-molecular-mass heterooligomer in the cytosol (By similarity). The PEX1-PEX6 heterooligomers associate with the peroxisomal importomer via interaction of PEX6 with the peroxisomal membrane anchor PEX15 (By similarity). Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the peroxisomal membrane. AAA-cassette D1 is required for interaction with PEX1 (By similarity). ATP-binding in AAA-cassette D1 is required for attachment to PEX15 (By similarity). ATP-binding and hydrolysis in AAA-cassette D2 is required for release from PEX15 and proper function in PEX5 dislocation (By similarity). Leads to growth defects with sparse aerial hyphae, and reduced number of nuclei in hyphal cells (PubMed:35323036). Results also in complete elimination of sporulation and trap formation and a remarkable decrease in the ability to trap nematodes (PubMed:35323036). Leads to defective cell wall biosynthesis and increased stress susceptibility (PubMed:35323036). Results in the up-regulation of the proteasome, membranes, ribosomes, DNA replication, and cell cycle functions, and the down-regulation of MAPK signaling and nitrogen metabolism (PubMed:35323036). Belongs to the AAA ATPase family.
