Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionspg-7 encodes a metalloprotease orthologous to human paraplegin, a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial metalloprotease mutations in which are associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia (spinal cord dysfunction); based upon studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SPG7, C. elegans SPG-7 is predicted to function as part of a mt-AAA metalloprotease that regulates proteolytic degradation of mitochondrial proteins and formation of multisubunit mitochondrial protein complexes; loss of spg-7 activity via large-scale RNAi indicates that SPG-7 function is required for embryonic and larval development, reproduction, normal body size and growth rates, and proper subcellular localization of an unc-54::POLYQ(Q35)-YFP transgene; in addition, postdevelopmental inactivation of spg-7 results in significantly increased adult lifespan.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004402

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrial protein processing; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of m-AAA complex. Expressed in germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in optic atrophy 12; spastic ataxia 5; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 28. Is an ortholog of human AFG3L2 (AFG3 like matrix AAA peptidase subunit 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (41)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
