These data show that neurodegenerative processes associated with lysosomal dysfunction may be presynaptically initiated by a concomitant reduction in alpha-synuclein and CSPalpha levels at nerve terminals.
Title: Lysosomal dysfunction disrupts presynaptic maintenance and restoration of presynaptic function prevents neurodegeneration in lysosomal storage diseases.
CSPalpha has a role in regulating synaptic excitability and neurotransmission by limiting expression of BK channels.

Study shows that cysteine string protein-alpha is required to maintain the size of the releasable pool of synaptic vesicles in motorneurons, presumably by conveying stability to SNAP-25.
Title: Motorneurons require cysteine string protein-α to maintain the readily releasable vesicular pool and synaptic vesicle recycling.
Using hippocampal cultures, study shows that CSPalpha regulates the stability of client proteins and synaptic vesicle number. Analysis of CSPalpha-dynamin 1 interactions reveals unexpectedly that CSPalpha regulates the polymerization of dynamin 1.
Title: Identification of CSPα clients reveals a role in dynamin 1 regulation.
findings suggest that the neurodegeneration in CSPalpha KO mice is primarily produced by defective SNAP-25 function, which causes neurodegeneration by impairing SNARE-complex assembly

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) lacks an exon in the 5' end and contains an alternate exon in the 3' end compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
