Domain

The N-terminal region is required for targeting to late endosomes/lysosomes. It does not traverse the membrane but contains a membrane-embedded intramembrane domain and interacts with the lipids phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2) (PubMed:26134396). PA and PI(3,5)P2 are required for the protective effect against mitochondrial stress (PubMed:26134396).

Function

ATPase which acts as a lysosomal polyamine exporter with high affinity for spermine (PubMed:31996848). Also stimulates cellular uptake of polyamines and protects against polyamine toxicity (PubMed:31996848). Plays a role in intracellular cation homeostasis and the maintenance of neuronal integrity (PubMed:22186024). Contributes to cellular zinc homeostasis (PubMed:24603074). Confers cellular protection against Mn(2+) and Zn(2+) toxicity and mitochondrial stress (PubMed:26134396). Required for proper lysosomal and mitochondrial maintenance (PubMed:22296644, PubMed:28137957). Regulates the autophagy-lysosome pathway through the control of SYT11 expression at both transcriptional and post-translational levels (PubMed:27278822). Facilitates recruitment of deacetylase HDAC6 to lysosomes to deacetylate CTTN, leading to actin polymerization, promotion of autophagosome-lysosome fusion and completion of autophagy (PubMed:30538141). Promotes secretion of exosomes as well as secretion of SCNA via exosomes (PubMed:24603074, PubMed:25392495). Plays a role in lipid homeostasis (PubMed:31132336).

Involvement in disease

Kufor-Rakeb syndrome

KRS

A rare form of autosomal recessive juvenile or early-onset, levodopa-responsive parkinsonism. In addition to typical parkinsonian signs, clinical manifestations of Kufor-Rakeb syndrome include behavioral problems, facial tremor, pyramidal tract dysfunction, supranuclear gaze palsy, and dementia.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. KRS has also been referred to as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 12 (CLN12), due to neuronal and glial lipofuscin deposits detected in the cortex, basal nuclei and cerebellum of some patients.

Spastic paraplegia 78, autosomal recessive

SPG78

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.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Autophosphorylated (PubMed:26134396, PubMed:28137957). Accumulates in an inactive autophosphorylated state and autophosphorylation is stimulated by phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate but not by Mn(2+) or Zn(2+) (PubMed:26134396). The presence of spermine results in a dose-dependent reduction in autophosphorylation (PubMed:31996848).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type V subfamily.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in brain; protein levels are markedly increased in brain from subjects with Parkinson disease and subjects with dementia with Lewy bodies. Detected in pyramidal neurons located throughout the cingulate cortex (at protein level). In the substantia nigra, it is found in neuromelanin-positive dopaminergic neurons (at protein level).
