Description | This is the AAA ATPase senescence domain (SC) found at the C-terminal of plant senescence-associated proteins and spartin. In Hemerocallis, petals a genetically based program that leads to senescence and cell death approximately 24 hours after the flower opens, and it is believed that senescence proteins produced around that time have a role in this program [1]. This domain is also present at the C-terminal of Spartin, a protein from higher vertebrates associated with mitochondrial membranes and transportation along microtubules [2]. Spartin functions presynaptically with endocytic adaptor Eps15 to regulate synaptic growth and function. Mutations in human spartin gene cause Troyer syndrome, a hereditary spastic paraplegia [3]. This AAA ATPase domain, similar to other AAA proteins contain an alpha/beta nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and a smaller four-helix bundle domain (HBD) [4]. Uniquely among AAA structures, spastin has two helices (N-terminal alpha1 and C-terminal alpha11) hat embrace the NBD [4]. |
