MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a T to C transition at position 1246 of the Pex6 transcript using Ensembl record ENSMUST00000066348 in exon 4 of 4 total exons. According to the Genbank record, the Pex6 gene contains 17 total exons. The cDNA of this Ensembl record only partially matches the Genbank record and the altered base pair is located only in the Ensembl record. Multiple transcripts of the Pex6 gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutated nucleotide causes a cysteine to arginine substitution at amino acid 410 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

 
Protein Function and Prediction
The Pex6 gene encodes a 981 amino acid protein that is a member of the AAA ATPase family and is involved in peroxisome biosynthesis. PEX6 plays a role in protein import into peroxisomes. ATP binding occurs at residues 471-478 and 745-752 (Uniprot Q99LC9).  In humans, mutations in the PEX6 gene cause peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBDs; OMIM 601539).
 
The protein encoded by the Ensembl record only matches the first 378 amino acids of the annotated PEX6 protein. The C410R change occurs outside this region and may be translated from an intron.  It is predicted to be benign by the PolyPhen program.
