    text
  • Golgi apparatus, predominantly in cis-Golgi
  • localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi, neurites and growth cones and has been implicated in neurite outgrowth
  • anchored in the membrane by two closely spaced transmembrane segments, exposing both the GTPase domain and the C-terminal tail to the cytosol (
    • basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in Golgi membrane dynamics or vesicle trafficking
  • playing a functional role in axonal development
  • dynamin-like large GTPase, playing a role in vesicle trafficking in the ER/Golgi interface
  • coordinates endoplasmic reticulum shaping and microtubule dynamics
  • co-overexpression of ATL1 and REEP1, generates large Lipid droplets (LDs)
  • atlastin-mediated fusion of ER membranes is important for Lipid droplets (LDs) size regulation
  • regulates dendritic morphogenesis which depends on its GTPase activity

    a component
  • GDP-bound ATL1 dimer is an intermediate during the fusion reaction (GTP-dependent dimer formation may link ATL1 molecules in apposing membranes during the first step in membrane fusion)

    small molecule
    protein
  • C-terminal regulatory domain of NIK/HGK
  • ATL1
  • with ATL1 and SPAST, interact within the tubular ER membrane in corticospinal neurons to coordinate ER shaping and microtubule dynamics
  • ZFYVE27 interact with other hereditary spastic paraplegia-related proteins including myelin proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1), atlastin-1 (ATL1), REEP1, REEP5 (similar to REEP1), KIF5A, KIF5B, KIF5C

  • Depletion of the atlastins or overexpression of dominant-negative forms inhibits tubule interconnections of the endoplasmic reticulum
  • mouse cultured cortical neurons, overexpressing ATL1 increased dendrite growth and arborization, while HSP-associated mutant R217Q had no such effects
