Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disease most commonly caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the SPG4 gene encoding the microtubule severing protein spastin. We hypothesise that SPG4-HSP is attributable to reduced spastin function due to haploinsufficiency, thus therape...

The development and function of male gametes is critically dependent on a dynamic microtubule network, yet how this is regulated remains poorly understood. We have recently shown that microtubule severing, via the action of the meiotic AAA ATPase protein clade, plays a critical role in this process....

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) leads to progressive gait disturbances with lower limb muscle weakness and spasticity. Mutations in SPG4 are a major cause of autosomal-dominant HSP. Spastin, the protein encoded by SPG4, is a microtubule-severing protein and is enriched in the distal axon of cor...
