Gene 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.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

autophagic lysosome reformation

Definition: A lysosome organization process in which autolysosomal membranes tubulate and regenerate functional lysosomes after autophagic degradation.

Justification: ZFYVE26/spastizin and SPG11/spatacsin are described as pivotal for ALR and essential for initiation of lysosomal tubulation, but the review must currently use broader lysosome organization and lysosomal membrane organization terms.

Parent term: lysosome organization

Supporting Evidence:

AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex-mediated lysosomal membrane remodeling

Definition: A lysosomal membrane organization process in which the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex binds PI3P-positive membranes, senses curvature, and remodels membranes during autolysosome tubulation.

Justification: The 2025 structural study supports PI3P binding, curvature sensing, and membrane remodeling by the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex, but current GO terms separate membrane bending from the specific lysosomal complex/process context.

Parent term: lysosomal membrane organization

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should GO add an autophagic lysosome reformation term under lysosome organization so ZFYVE26/SPG15, SPG11, PIP5K1B, KIF5B, and related ALR factors can be annotated without overusing broad lysosome organization?

Suggested experts: Li Yu, Craig Blackstone, GO biological process editors

Q: Should spastizin-mediated autophagosome maturation through Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon be curated separately from AP5-SPG11-SPG15-dependent ALR/lysosomal membrane remodeling?

Suggested experts: Maria Teresa Bassi, Li Yu, GO autophagy editors

Q: Should the HR-DSBR annotation for ZFYVE26/SPG15 remain as a non-core process, or is the DR-GFP evidence too indirect relative to the stronger SPG48/KIAA0415 focus of PMID:20613862?

Suggested experts: Andreas Ladurner, Craig Blackstone, GO DNA repair editors

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rescue ZFYVE26/SPG15-deficient cells with FYVE-domain and AP5/SPG11-interface mutants, then quantify starvation-refeeding ALR, free lysosome regeneration, lysosomal tubulation, and autophagosome maturation.

Hypothesis: PI3P binding and AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex assembly are required for spastizin-dependent ALR and lysosomal membrane organization.

Type: genetic rescue/live-cell lysosome and autophagy imaging

Experiment: Measure membrane curvature sensing and remodeling by purified AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complexes containing SPG15 FYVE-domain or complex-interface mutants on PI3P-containing liposomes.

Hypothesis: Spastizin contributes directly to PI3P-dependent membrane remodeling as part of the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex.

Type: in vitro membrane remodeling/structural biochemistry

Experiment: Separate cytokinesis, autophagosome maturation, and ALR outputs using domain-specific ZFYVE26 mutants in matched midbody, Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon, and lysosomal tubulation assays.

Hypothesis: ZFYVE26 has separable PI3P-dependent cytokinesis and proteostasis functions that should not be collapsed into one broad GO process.

Type: domain-function epistasis

ZFYVE26 notes

Review context

ZFYVE26 encodes spastizin/SPG15, a FYVE-domain protein in the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 endolysosomal machinery. In the Proteostasis Network browser it appears under autophagic lysosome reformation and class III PI3K complex 2/autophagosome maturation context. The PN row that lacks PMID mappings was treated as search/context only, not as direct evidence.

Falcon deep research was started with just deep-research-falcon human ZFYVE26 and timed out after 600 seconds with All providers failed. This notes file and the cached publications are the manual evidence record.

Evidence synthesis

The strongest proteostasis evidence places spastizin with spatacsin/SPG11 in autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR). The JCI abstract states that SPG15/spastizin and SPG11/spatacsin are "pivotal for autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR)", that lysosomal targeting of spastizin requires a FYVE domain binding PI3P, that loss of either protein depletes free lysosomes and causes autolysosome accumulation, and that they are essential for initiation of lysosomal tubulation [PMID:25365221 "pivotal for autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR)"; PMID:25365221 "Lysosomal targeting of spastizin required an intact FYVE domain, which binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate"; PMID:25365221 "Loss of spastizin or spatacsin resulted in depletion of free lysosomes"; PMID:25365221 "essential components for the initiation of lysosomal tubulation"]. This supports GO:0007040 lysosome organization and the existing lysosome/late-endosome locations as core, while GO:1905037 autophagosome organization is less precise for this paper than lysosome organization/ALR.

Structural evidence now directly supports the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 membrane remodeling model. The 2025 structural paper reports that SPG11-SPG15 cooperates with AP5 in late-endosome membrane sorting, and that the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex binds PI3P, senses curvature, drives membrane remodeling in vitro, and is essential for autolysosome tubulation [PMID:40175557 "AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex can bind PI3P molecules, sense membrane curvature and drive membrane remodeling in vitro"; PMID:40175557 "essential for the initiation of autolysosome tubulation"]. This supports GO:0097212 lysosomal membrane organization, GO:0097753 membrane bending, GO:0007040 lysosome organization, and PI3P binding as an informative molecular function.

The AP-5 interaction paper supports replacing generic protein-binding rows with endolysosomal membrane-organization terms: AP-5 subunits coimmunoprecipitate with SPG11/SPG15, all components colocalize on late endosomal/lysosomal compartments, and the authors propose a coat-like complex in which SPG15 docks the coat onto PI3P-containing membranes via its FYVE domain [PMID:23825025 "the four AP-5 subunits can be coimmunoprecipitated with SPG11 and SPG15"; PMID:23825025 "AP-5, SPG11, and SPG15 colocalize on a late endosomal/lysosomal compartment"; PMID:23825025 "SPG15 facilitating the docking of the coat onto membranes by interacting with PI3P via its FYVE domain"].

Autophagosome maturation has independent support from the Brain abstract. It states that spastizin interacts with Beclin 1, associates with the Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon complex, and is required for autophagosome maturation; spastizin-deficient or mutant cells accumulate immature autophagosomes [PMID:24030950 "spastizin interacts with the autophagy related Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon multiprotein complex and is required for autophagosome maturation"; PMID:24030950 "impairment of autophagosome maturation and an accumulation of immature autophagosomes"]. This supports adding GO:0097352 autophagosome maturation as a new annotation, separate from the ALR/lysosome-organization evidence.

ZFYVE26 also has a well-supported cytokinesis role that should be retained as non-core for this proteostasis-focused review. Sagona et al. report that PI3P localizes to the midbody and recruits FYVE-CENT/ZFYVE26, that FYVE-CENT/TTC19 translocation from centrosome to midbody requires KIF13A, and that depletion of FYVE-CENT phenocopies PI3K-III/KIF13A/TTC19 depletion with cytokinesis arrest and multinucleated cells [PMID:20208530 "PtdIns(3)P localizes to the midbody during cytokinesis and recruits a centrosomal protein, FYVE-CENT (ZFYVE26)"; PMID:20208530 "Translocation of FYVE-CENT and TTC19 from the centrosome to the midbody requires another FYVE-CENT-interacting protein, the microtubule motor KIF13A"; PMID:20208530 "cytokinesis arrest and an increased number of binucleate and multinucleate cells"]. Thus centrosome, midbody, regulation of cytokinesis, and mitotic cytokinesis are real but non-core.

The HR-DSBR evidence is experimentally based but not a proteostasis core function. The genome-scale DNA repair paper identifies KIAA0415/SPG48 as the main focus, but also reports that KIAA0415 interacts with SPG11 and SPG15 and that SPG15 silencing reduces the DR-GFP homologous recombination readout [PMID:20613862 "KIAA0415 interacts with SPG11, SPG15"; PMID:20613862 "significant reduction of GFP positive cells were observed upon silencing of C20orf29 and SPG15"]. Keep homologous recombination DSB repair as non-core with the caveat that the better-supported proteostasis function is endolysosomal membrane remodeling.

The GO:0019901 protein kinase binding annotation from PMID:25365221 could not be verified from the cached abstract. Because the relevant full text is not locally accessible, this row should remain undecided rather than accepted.

The HDA lysosomal membrane row from PMID:17897319 is broad proteomics evidence. It can be retained as a broad location, but the stronger functional interpretation comes from the ALR/AP5-SPG11-SPG15 literature PMID:17897319.

Review decisions

  • Core: PI3P binding; AP5-SPG11-SPG15-dependent lysosomal/late endosomal membrane organization; membrane bending/remodeling; lysosome organization in ALR; autophagosome maturation.
  • Non-core: cytokinesis, midbody/centrosome localization, and possible HR-DSBR role.
  • Modify/replace: generic protein binding rows should be replaced by lysosome organization, lysosomal membrane organization, membrane bending, or regulation of cytokinesis depending on the source.
  • Undecided: protein kinase binding from PMID:25365221, due missing accessible evidence.

Description cleanup note

The YAML description field was revised to keep it as a standalone biological summary. Project-specific curation framing moved here instead.

  • Moved out of the YAML description: cytokinesis and HR-DSBR roles were treated as non-core in this proteostasis-focused review, and generic protein-binding annotations should be replaced by specific membrane-organization, membrane-remodeling, or cytokinesis terms supported by the source publications.

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 β€” 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) β€” 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.

  • 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 β€” 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."

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 β€” 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).

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.

      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.

      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 row 2: Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway | Autophagic lysosome reformation | Specific function in autophagic lysosome reformation unknown

  • 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.

  • 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.
    • [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.

      rows, because PMID:24030950 explicitly supports maturation of autophagosomes.

proposed_new_terms:
- proposed_name: autophagic lysosome reformation
  proposed_definition: A lysosome organization process in which autolysosomal membranes tubulate and
    regenerate functional lysosomes after autophagic degradation.
  justification: ZFYVE26/spastizin and SPG11/spatacsin are described as pivotal for ALR and
    essential for initiation of lysosomal tubulation, but the review must currently use broader
    lysosome organization and lysosomal membrane organization terms.

  proposed_definition: A lysosomal membrane organization process in which the AP5-SPG11-SPG15
    complex binds PI3P-positive membranes, senses curvature, and remodels membranes during
    autolysosome tubulation.
  justification: The 2025 structural study supports PI3P binding, curvature sensing, and membrane
    remodeling by the AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex, but current GO terms separate membrane bending from
    the specific lysosomal complex/process context.

suggested_questions:
- question: Should GO add an autophagic lysosome reformation term under lysosome organization so
    ZFYVE26/SPG15, SPG11, PIP5K1B, KIF5B, and related ALR factors can be annotated without overusing
    broad lysosome organization?
  experts:
  - Li Yu
  - Craig Blackstone
  - GO biological process editors
- question: Should spastizin-mediated autophagosome maturation through Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon be
    curated separately from AP5-SPG11-SPG15-dependent ALR/lysosomal membrane remodeling?
  experts:
  - Maria Teresa Bassi
  - Li Yu
  - GO autophagy editors
- question: Should the HR-DSBR annotation for ZFYVE26/SPG15 remain as a non-core process, or is the
    DR-GFP evidence too indirect relative to the stronger SPG48/KIAA0415 focus of PMID:20613862?

suggested_experiments:
- description: Rescue ZFYVE26/SPG15-deficient cells with FYVE-domain and AP5/SPG11-interface
    mutants, then quantify starvation-refeeding ALR, free lysosome regeneration, lysosomal
    tubulation, and autophagosome maturation.
  experiment_type: genetic rescue/live-cell lysosome and autophagy imaging
  hypothesis: PI3P binding and AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex assembly are required for spastizin-dependent
    ALR and lysosomal membrane organization.
- description: Measure membrane curvature sensing and remodeling by purified AP5-SPG11-SPG15
    complexes containing SPG15 FYVE-domain or complex-interface mutants on PI3P-containing
    liposomes.
  experiment_type: in vitro membrane remodeling/structural biochemistry
  hypothesis: Spastizin contributes directly to PI3P-dependent membrane remodeling as part of the
    AP5-SPG11-SPG15 complex.
- description: Separate cytokinesis, autophagosome maturation, and ALR outputs using domain-specific
    ZFYVE26 mutants in matched midbody, Beclin 1-UVRAG-Rubicon, and lysosomal tubulation assays.
  experiment_type: domain-function epistasis
  hypothesis: ZFYVE26 has separable PI3P-dependent cytokinesis and proteostasis functions that
    should not be collapsed into one broad GO process.
