Summary: Enables 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 and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Is 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. Orthologous to human SPAST (spastin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

The C-terminal alpha-helix of SPAS-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans spastin homologue, is crucial for microtubule severing.
Title: The C-terminal α-helix of SPAS-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans spastin homologue, is crucial for microtubule severing.
We propose that microtubule binding domain (MTBD) of SPAS-1 plays a critical role in enrichment of SPAS-1 to microtubules, where SPAS-1 is concentrated and able to form a stable hexamer, subsequently its ATPase activity is stimulated.
Title: Conserved aromatic and basic amino acid residues in the pore region of Caenorhabditis elegans spastin play critical roles in microtubule severing.
