Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by progressive and cell-specific axonal degeneration. An autosomal recessive form of the disease is caused by mutations in paraplegin, which is a conserved subunit of the ubiquitous and ATP-dependent m-AAA protease in mitochondria. The m-AAA protease carries out protein quality control in the inner...
