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 PEX6 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 PEX6 (By similarity). ATP-binding in AAA-cassette D2 is required for interaction with PEX6 (By similarity). ATP-binding and hydrolysis in AAA-cassette D2 is required for 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.
