AIGR Review Snapshot
- Description: ZFYVE26 encodes spastizin/SPG15, a FYVE-domain PI3P-binding protein that functions with SPG11/spatacsin and AP-5 in endolysosomal membrane remodeling. The strongest protein-homeostasis evidence supports a core role in autophagic lysosome reformation, lysosomal membrane organization, membrane bending, and autophagosome maturation through PI3P-dependent recruitment to lysosomal/late-endosomal membranes. ZFYVE26 also has experimentally supported cytokinesis and HR-DSBR roles, but its principal cellular role is endolysosomal membrane remodeling.

PN Consistency Summary
- Consistency: Strongly consistent. Deep-research notes, review YAML, PN notes, and PN mappings all converge: core = PI3P-binding FYVE protein in AP5-SPG11-SPG15 endolysosomal membrane remodeling / ALR / autophagosome maturation. The PN note's "Beclin1-UVRAG-Rubicon… required for autophagosome maturation" matches the review's NEW GO:0097352 row. No contradictions.
- PN story / NEW pressure: PN asserts (a) class III PI3K complex modulation — review correctly does NOT claim complex membership, using GO:0032266 PI3P binding + lysosome organization instead (matches PN's context_only decision); and (b) ALR with "specific function unknown." Review supplies the mechanism: GO:0007040, GO:0097212 lysosomal membrane organization, GO:0097753 membrane bending, plus NEW GO:0097352 autophagosome maturation (OLS-verified real). ALR itself has no GO term (OLS search empty) — review's
proposed_new_terms "autophagic lysosome reformation" under GO:0007040 is well-justified. Conclusion: NEW term (ALR) defensible; autophagosome maturation is a defensible ADD already in review; class-III-PI3K membership correctly NOT added.
- Evidence alignment: Both PN refs are in the review. PN "Defective autophagy in spastizin… HSP type 15" = PMID:24030950 (autophagosome maturation); PN "spastizin and spatacsin mediate ALR" = PMID:25365221 (lysosome organization/ALR). Review adds PMID:40175557 (2025 structure), 23825025 (AP-5), 37871017, 20208530 the PN rows omit.
- Verdict: Fully consistent; review enriches the PN "function unknown" ALR node with verified terms (GO:0097352 add + ALR proposed-new-term). Mappings sound; no demotions needed.
Full Consistency Review
- UniProt: Q68DK2 (spastizin/SPG15/FYVE-CENT) · batch: proteostasis-pr-1217 · review status: COMPLETE
- PN placement:
ALP|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Class 3 PI3K complex 2, direct|Modulator of class 3 PI3K complex 2 activity and ALP|Autophagic lysosome reformation|Specific function… unknown ; PN-node mapping: PI3K-complex nodes all context_only/too_broad → GO:0035032 (class III PI3K complex), explicitly "should not project CC membership"; ALR group = no_mapping (unknown); ALR class = context_only → GO:0007040 lysosome organization.
- Consistency: Strongly consistent. Deep-research notes, review YAML, PN notes, and PN mappings all converge: core = PI3P-binding FYVE protein in AP5-SPG11-SPG15 endolysosomal membrane remodeling / ALR / autophagosome maturation. The PN note's "Beclin1-UVRAG-Rubicon… required for autophagosome maturation" matches the review's NEW GO:0097352 row. No contradictions.
- PN story / NEW pressure: PN asserts (a) class III PI3K complex modulation — review correctly does NOT claim complex membership, using GO:0032266 PI3P binding + lysosome organization instead (matches PN's context_only decision); and (b) ALR with "specific function unknown." Review supplies the mechanism: GO:0007040, GO:0097212 lysosomal membrane organization, GO:0097753 membrane bending, plus NEW GO:0097352 autophagosome maturation (OLS-verified real). ALR itself has no GO term (OLS search empty) — review's
proposed_new_terms "autophagic lysosome reformation" under GO:0007040 is well-justified. Conclusion: NEW term (ALR) defensible; autophagosome maturation is a defensible ADD already in review; class-III-PI3K membership correctly NOT added.
- Mapping strategy: No change needed to PI3K nodes (context_only is right; precedent-aligned — narrower review terms, no spurious CC propagation). ALR group could be upgraded from no_mapping toward GO:0007040 lysosome organization (the review's accepted core, and the class-node target), but PN's "unknown specific function" caution is reasonable; review is narrower than the PN class-level GO:0007040, never broader.
- Evidence alignment: Both PN refs are in the review. PN "Defective autophagy in spastizin… HSP type 15" = PMID:24030950 (autophagosome maturation); PN "spastizin and spatacsin mediate ALR" = PMID:25365221 (lysosome organization/ALR). Review adds PMID:40175557 (2025 structure), 23825025 (AP-5), 37871017, 20208530 the PN rows omit.
- Verdict: Fully consistent; review enriches the PN "function unknown" ALR node with verified terms (GO:0097352 add + ALR proposed-new-term). Mappings sound; no demotions needed.

PN row 1: Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway | Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion | Class 3 PI3K complex 2, direct | Modulator of class 3 PI3K complex 2 activity
- UniProt: Q68DK2
- In branches: ALP
- Notes: aka FYVE-CENT, SPG15, and spastizin. Spastizin interacts with the autophagy related Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon multiprotein complex and is required for autophagosome maturation. In cells lacking spastizin or with mutated forms of the protein, spastizin interaction with Beclin 1 is lost although the formation of the Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon complex can still be observed. However, in these cells there is an impairment of autophagosome maturation and an accumulation of immature autophagosomes. Also important in autophagic lysosomal reformation.

- [type] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Class 3 PI3K complex 2, direct|Modulator of class 3 PI3K complex 2 activity
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0035032 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III]
rationale: Reviewed as a class-III PI3K complex context or regulator bucket. This node is useful for curator interpretation, but it should not project cellular-component membership; only explicit complex-component leaves propagate to GO complex terms.
- [group] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion|Class 3 PI3K complex 2, direct
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0035032 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III]
rationale: Reviewed as a class-III PI3K complex context or regulator bucket. This node is useful for curator interpretation, but it should not project cellular-component membership; only explicit complex-component leaves propagate to GO complex terms.
- [class] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0016236 macroautophagy]
rationale: This class is a late macroautophagy context, but the subtree mixes docking, fusion, localization, membrane-composition, and unknown late-stage roles. The class-level relation is useful for display while propagation is restricted to narrower mechanism nodes.
- [branch] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as the top-level PN branch. It is a project taxonomy umbrella rather than a direct GO assertion; all propagation must come from manually curated child nodes.

- PN-node mapping records (path + ancestors):
- [group] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagic lysosome reformation|Specific function in autophagic lysosome reformation unknown
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: This PN group explicitly states that the specific role within autophagic lysosome reformation is unknown. That makes GO propagation unsafe until a narrower mechanistic interpretation is available.
- [class] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagic lysosome reformation
status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0007040 lysosome organization]
rationale: Autophagic lysosome reformation is the lysosome-regeneration phase that follows autolysosome formation and cargo degradation. As a class, it is better aligned to lysosome organization than to generic autophagy, but the PN members are mechanistically mixed across membrane remodeling, tubulation, product efflux, and unknown late-stage roles, so class-level propagation would still over-annotate.

status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as the top-level PN branch. It is a project taxonomy umbrella rather than a direct GO assertion; all propagation must come from manually curated child nodes.
