Gene Description

Atlastin-1 is a membrane-anchored dynamin-like GTPase that promotes fusion of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Nucleotide-dependent self-association and conformational changes couple GTP hydrolysis to membrane tethering and fusion, helping build and maintain a connected tubular ER network. ATL1 also associates with ER-shaping proteins such as reticulons, REEP proteins and spastin. Its function is particularly important in neurons, and pathogenic variants cause forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain Golgi membrane as contextual evidence.
Reason: The complete 2003 abstract reports Golgi/cis-Golgi localization in neuronal preparations. Retain this experimentally curated location as contextual, alongside the much better established ER fusion site. The original localization Methods and exact human-versus-rodent preparations were not independently read here; later human ATL1 ER evidence does not refute this Golgi observation.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain Golgi membrane as contextual evidence.
Reason: The 2007 abstract explicitly reports ER and Golgi localization and mutant effects at the ER/Golgi interface. Retain Golgi membrane localization as contextual; do not convert a historical compartment observation into a primary Golgi-fission mechanism. Detailed species and construct Methods remain uninspected.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain Golgi membrane as contextual evidence.
Reason: The UniProt Golgi-membrane mapping is consistent with the retained experimental Golgi observations. Keep as a contextual location; no evidence of an erroneous mapping or mutually exclusive ER/Golgi localization was found.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase activity.
Reason: GTP hydrolysis is a direct component of ATL1 membrane fusion. The 2003 source abstract and curated enzyme record are supported independently by later human ATL1 structural and biochemical studies. Retain the original broad catalytic annotation without replacing it with the already present fusogenic term; exact 2003 enzyme-assay Methods were not inspected.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase activity.
Reason: Human ATL1 cytosolic-fragment GTPase measurements and the conformational cycle support GTP hydrolysis. The selected 2024 Methods were independently examined; the lipid-mixing arm uses Drosophila ATL and must remain distinct from this human hydrolysis result.
Supporting Evidence:
GO:0003924 GTPase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase activity.
Reason: Retain the phylogenetic GTPase assertion because independent human ATL1 catalysis supports the same function. The PAINT node and alignment have not been replayed. The target in WITH/FROM is legitimate descendant evidence, not circularity, and the donor count is not an evidential score.
GO:0003924 GTPase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase activity.
Reason: The InterPro/Rhea mapping agrees with the measured GTP hydrolysis reaction. There is no biochemical basis to reject the electronic annotation; the more specific fusogenic activity already exists as separate source rows.

Summary: Retain protein binding as contextual evidence.
Reason: The 2006 abstract and selected indexed Results/Methods explicitly support physical interaction with spastin. Keep the generic interaction as non-core; the physical association is adjudicated, while its precise physiological contribution is less specific than ATL1 fusion. Do not infer that ATL1 activates spastin ATPase activity. Preserve the original partner and subject-isoform fields.

Reason: The 2009 Results directly demonstrate ATL1 association with DP1/REEP5 in coexpression/coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Retain the curated Q60870 heterologous partner as non-core. Mammalian assay-cell identity does not by itself determine the species of the expressed protein; the accession mapping is retained from the curator.

Reason: The 2009 Results demonstrate association with reticulon-3c, including reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation and controls.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain protein binding as contextual evidence.
Reason: The 2009 source distinguishes native rat ATL1/Rtn4a coimmunoprecipitation from recombinant reticulon-domain experiments. Together with the positive curated heterologous Q9JK11-3 record, this supports retention as a non-core interaction; do not relabel the native rat experiment as an endogenous human pair.

Summary: Retain protein binding as contextual evidence.
Reason: The 2009 source uses human RTN4a-derived cytoplasmic and membrane-domain constructs and supports association through the membrane-containing region. Retain the Q9NQC3 record as non-core; a positive coimmunoprecipitation is not a claim that a purified full-length binary complex was reconstituted.

Reason: Indexed original Results/Figure 7 and construct Methods show human REEP1 and ATL1 coimmunoprecipitation in transfected COS7 cells, with the ATL1 membrane-containing region sufficient for association.

Reason: Original indexed Results/Figure 2F identify all three human atlastins with endogenous protrudin, with recombinant interaction experiments also described.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain cytoplasm as contextual evidence.
Reason: Cytoplasm is a broad compartment containing the cytoplasmic ER network, not a synonym for free cytosol. Retain the mouse-ortholog transfer as non-core location context; ATL1 is membrane-associated and should not be described as a soluble cytosolic enzyme.

Summary: Retain Golgi apparatus as contextual evidence.
Reason: Retain the rat ATL1 Golgi transfer as contextual non-core localization. Earlier Golgi/cis-Golgi observations are not disproven by the current ER fusion model; the source remains orthology-based.
GO:0007029 endoplasmic reticulum organization
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum organization.
Reason: ER organization is a direct consequence of ATL1 performing membrane fusion and is experimentally supported in human ATL1 expression/perturbation studies. Retain the IBA claim, with the node/MSA unexamined. The target among descendants is not circular evidence.

Reason: The complete original abstract explicitly identifies the human ATL1 cytosolic segment and dimer structures; full-length Drosophila protein supplies the fusion assay. Accept human self-association while preserving this construct/species distinction.
Supporting Evidence:

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported identical protein binding.
Reason: Indexed original Results and Methods use human ATL1 cytosolic fragments, nucleotide-dependent oligomer measurements and conformational assays. Accept the self-interaction component of the fusion mechanism; these experiments do not themselves assay a purified full-length human membrane-fusion reaction.
Supporting Evidence:
GO:0051260 protein homooligomerization
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported protein homooligomerization.
Reason: Human biochemical and structural self-association independently corroborates the IBA homooligomerization claim. Retain the original ancestral node; no node/MSA replay is claimed and the single descendant donor is not a weakness. Do not infer a constant oligomer stoichiometry.
GO:0071782 endoplasmic reticulum tubular network
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network.
Reason: The mouse-ortholog tubular-network location is independently corroborated by direct human ATL1 imaging. Retain the original electronic transfer; use the membrane child for the synthesized core location.
GO:0071782 endoplasmic reticulum tubular network
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network.
Reason: Retain the curator mouse-ortholog tubular-network transfer because direct human ATL1 imaging independently supports this compartment. No new human evidence type is substituted into the source object.

Cooperation of the ER-shaping proteins atlastin, lunapark, a...
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane.
Reason: The 2016 Results/Figure 1 place active membrane-anchored ATL1 throughout ER tubules, supporting the tubular-network membrane as the precise core site. ATL1 need not be as concentrated at junctions as ATL2/3 to be active there.
Supporting Evidence:
GO:0098826 endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane.
Reason: The ARBA tubular ER membrane location agrees with direct localization evidence. Retain the current term and use it as the core location; no redundant new location is needed.
GO:0140523 GTPase-dependent fusogenic activity
IDA
PMID:38509071
Dissecting the mechanism of atlastin-mediated homotypic memb...
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase-dependent fusogenic activity.
Reason: This is the specific molecular function of ATL1: GTP hydrolysis coupled to membrane fusion. Retain the curated IDA assertion holistically, with the 2024 human/Drosophila/yeast assay limits and independently examined human lipid-mixing evidence made explicit.
Supporting Evidence:
GO:0140523 GTPase-dependent fusogenic activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported GTPase-dependent fusogenic activity.
Reason: The ARBA fusogenic activity is consistent with independent human ATL1 biochemistry and the conserved mechanism. Retain it without adding another identical NEW molecular-function row.
GO:1990674 Golgi cis cisterna membrane
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain Golgi cis cisterna membrane as contextual evidence.
Reason: Retain cis-Golgi membrane localization as an orthology-based, non-core neuronal/secretory context. Do not reassign it to ER simply because ER fusion is the current core model.
GO:1990809 endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization.
Reason: Tubular ER network membrane organization is the direct biological role supported by ATL1 fusion and network-connectivity experiments. Retain the electronic inference; it is not merely an indirect disease association.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization.
Reason: The inspected 2009 Myc-ATL1 WT/K80A and membrane-domain expression experiments support ER-network organization. Keep ATL1 perturbation distinct from the paper’s ATL2/3 depletion experiments and Xenopus in-vitro system; do not label those arms human ATL1 knockdown.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization.
Reason: The 2016 live-cell ATL1 WT/K80A/dimerization-control studies support formation and maintenance of connected ER tubules. Retain the direct process assertion, separating the human-cell and Xenopus extract arms and noting overexpression dependence.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain supported endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization.
Reason: Retain the 2024 human ATL1 complementation/mechanistic support for ER network organization. Selected source Methods establish human full-length expression in yeast and cytosolic single-molecule assays separately from Drosophila lipid mixing; H443P is engineered, whereas S398Y/N440T are the disease variants.
