Distant homologies and domain conservation of the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia protein SPG11/ALS5/spatacsin
2020-03-08
Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in SPG11 protein (spatacsin) are a common cause of autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum. To identify regions of the protein that may have functions that are disrupted in disease, we carried out bioinformatic analyses of its conserved regions. An N-terminal region of around 650 amino-acid residues, present in SPG11 across a wide range of metazoan ani...
