Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionspas-1 is an ortholog of human SPAST (spastin); spas-1 is involved in microtubule depolymerization, microtubule severing, oogenesis, protein homooligomerization and vulval development; spas-1 exhibits microtubule binding activity and microtubule-severing ATPase activity; epidermal expression of SPAS-1 triggers mild effects on embryonic elongation, which are dramatically enhanced by let-502 weak loss of function; spas-1 is expressed throughout the body including the gonad, intestine, and the vulva; spas-1 is localized to the cytoskeleton and the perinuclear region of cytoplasm.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00029440

Automated_descriptionEnables several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and microtubule severing ATPase activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of microtubule depolymerization; and vulval development. Located in microtubule cytoskeleton; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and protein-containing complex. Expressed in several structures, including intestine; mechanosensory neurons; somatic nervous system; tail ganglion; and vulva. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 4. Is an ortholog of human SPAST (spastin).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in the human ortholog of elegans spas-1, Spastin, are associated with Spastic paraplegia; studies in C. elegans identify the molecular mechanisms by which elegans spas-1 plays a role in microtubule dynamics, specifically in microtubule severing; overexpression of elegans SPAS-1 in cell culture induces the microtubule network to disintegrate, and this effect is blocked by spas-1 mutations orthologous to human disease-causing alleles; the microtubule binding domain of spas-1 allows enrichment of spas-1 to microtubules.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00034751

Reference (14)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
