Summary
SPART (spartin, HGNC:18514) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q13.3, encoding Spartin (Q8N0X7). Lipophagy receptor that plays an important role in lipid droplet (LD) turnover in motor neurons.
This gene encodes a protein containing a MIT (Microtubule Interacting and Trafficking molecule) domain, and is implicated in regulating endosomal trafficking and mitochondria function. The protein localizes to mitochondria and partially co-localizes with microtubules. Stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF) results in protein translocation to the plasma membrane, and the protein functions in the degradation and intracellular trafficking of EGF receptor. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. Mutations associated with this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 20 (Troyer syndrome).

Function. Lipophagy receptor that plays an important role in lipid droplet (LD) turnover in motor neurons. Localizes to LDs and interacts with components of the autophagy machinery, such as MAP1LC3A/C proteins to deliver LDs to autophagosomes for degradation via lipophagy. Lipid transfer protein required for lipid droplet degradation, including by lipophagy. Can bind and transfer all lipid species found in lipid droplets, from phospholipids to triglycerides and sterol esters but the direction of lipid transfer by spartin and its cargos are unknown. May be implicated in endosomal trafficking, or microtubule dynamics, or both. Participates in cytokinesis.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ITCH and WWP1. Interacts (via MIT domain) with IST1; leading to the recruitment of SPART to midbodies. Interacts with MAP1LC3A and MAP1LC3C.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Midbody. Lipid droplet.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels of expression detected in adipose tissue.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated; ubiquitination does not require ITCH and WWP1.
Disease relevance. Spastic paraplegia 20, autosomal recessive (SPG20) [MIM:275900] A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG20 is characterized by dysarthria, distal amyotrophy, mild developmental delay and short stature. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The senescence domain is required and sufficient for lipid transfer.
