Testing roles of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia genes in axonal endoplasmic reticulum modelling in Drosophila
… mutations in HSP affect proteins of the spastin, atlastin, REEP and reticulon (RTN) families, which possess hydrophobic hairpin domains in the ER membrane to help confer curvature on tubular ER. Drosophila mutants lacking members of RTN and REEP families exhibit partial ER fragmentation in axons. …

The interconnected roles of spastin and protrudin in endosomal sorting
… (HSP)- associated proteins, spastin (SPG4) and atlastin-1 (SPG3A), as essential for endosomal tubule fission. I investigated the functional interaction of spastin and protrudin and found that protrudin, an ER-associated adaptor molecule involved in anterograde membrane traffic, is a novel factor …

Beyond membrane curvature: Clade 6 reticulons and their role within the plant endoplasmic reticulum
… formation, and ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 3 (RHD3/Atlastin/Sey1p) which is required for 3-way junction formation. The differential expression of these proteins induces changes in ER morphology, and morphological dysregulation has been associated with disruptions in overall cellular function. Within …

Characterising the roles of mammalian atlastins in the endoplasmic reticulum and beyond
… focuses on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins atlastins (ATLs), particularly ATL1, as *ATL1* gene mutations cause the most frequent childhood-onset form of HSP. Using CRISPRi, I engineered ATL1 knock-down (KD) into the i<sup>3</sup> human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and utilised …

Testing roles of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) proteins in organization of axonal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER-mitochondria contacts
… encode ER-shaping proteins: spastin (SPG4), atlastin (SPG3A), Receptor Expression Enhancing Protein 1 (REEP1/SPG31) and reticulon (SPG12). These proteins share a common feature of one or two intramembrane hairpin domains that can recognise or drive curvature of the ER membrane. In Drosophila, …
