SPAST
This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The encoded ATPase may be involved in the assembly or function of nuclear protein complexes. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Other alternative splice variants have been described but their full length sequences have not been determined. Mutations associated with this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Interaction
Homohexamer (PubMed:17389232, PubMed:22637577). Mostly monomeric, but assembles into hexameric structure for short periods of time. Oligomerization seems to be a prerequisite for catalytic activity (PubMed:17389232, PubMed:22637577). Binding to ATP in a cleft between two adjacent subunits stabilizes the homohexameric form (PubMed:17389232, PubMed:22637577). Binds to microtubules at least in part via the alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin tails (PubMed:15269182, PubMed:15716377, PubMed:23272056). The hexamer adopts a ring conformation through which microtubules pass prior to being severed (PubMed:17389232, PubMed:22637577). Does not interact strongly with tubulin heterodimers (PubMed:15269182, PubMed:15716377, PubMed:23272056). Interacts (via MIT domain) with CHMP1B; the interaction is direct (PubMed:15537668, PubMed:18997780). Interacts with SSNA1 (PubMed:15269182). Interacts with ATL1 (PubMed:16339213, PubMed:16815977). Interacts with RTN1 (PubMed:16602018). Interacts with ZFYVE27 (PubMed:16826525, PubMed:23969831). Isoform 1 but not isoform 3 interacts with RTN2 (PubMed:22232211). Interacts with REEP1 (PubMed:20200447). Interacts (via MIT domain) with IST1 (PubMed:23897888, PubMed:26040712).
