Abstract

The spastin protein (SPAST) contains an ATPase with diverse cellular activities (AAA) domain and regulates microtubule dynamics. Missense mutations of the SPAST gene are frequently detected in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) and represent the main reason of loss of SPAST function; however, the pathogenicity of mutant SPAST is heterogeneous. Here, SPAST variant with an I344K mutation (I344K-SPAST) was identified in a Korean family with autosomal dominant-type HSP. We investigated the role of the I344K-SPAST in HSP to provide a therapeutic mechanism. The I344K-SPAST mutation prolonged the half-life of the protein compared to wild-type SPAST (WT-SPAST) in cells by modulating post-translational modifications for proteasomal degradation. I344K-SPAST was localized in microtubule but defective in microtubule severing and ATPase activity compared to WT-SPAST in vitro and in cells. Mutant M87 isoform harboring the same mutation with I344K-M1 SPAST also increased protein stability and loss of MT severing activity, but the pathogenicity was not stronger than I344K-M1 SPAST in neurite outgrowth. Overexpression of I344K-SPAST resulted in microtubule accumulation following inhibited neurite growth in neuroblastoma, neural...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
