Summary: Enables endoplasmic reticulum-autophagosome adaptor activity and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization; membrane bending; and reticulophagy. Located in axonal growth cone; fusome; and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cuboidal/columnar epithelium; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; germline cell; germline cyst; and gut section. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia and hereditary spastic paraplegia 12. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 12. Orthologous to several human genes including RTN4 (reticulon 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

PINK1, Keap1, and Rtnl1 regulate selective clearance of endoplasmic reticulum during development.

Drosophila SPG12 ortholog, reticulon-like 1, governs presynaptic ER organization and Ca2+ dynamics.

Results found that at prometaphase, Rtnl1 is enriched to spindle poles just prior to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention motif KDEL, suggesting a possible recruitment role for Rtnl1 in the bulk localization of ER to spindle poles. Also, the microtubules are necessary for proper Rtnl1 localization. Lastly, astral microtubules, are necessary for proper Rtnl1 localization to spindle poles.
Title: Microtubules are necessary for proper Reticulon localization during mitosis.
this paper shows that Rtnl1 increases arborization at the larval neuromuscular junction
Title: The effects of ER morphology on synaptic structure and function in Drosophila melanogaster.
The loss of Rtnl1 led to the expansion of the rough or sheet ER in larval epidermis and elevated levels of ER stress
Title: Reticulon-like-1, the Drosophila orthologue of the hereditary spastic paraplegia gene reticulon 2, is required for organization of endoplasmic reticulum and of distal motor axons.
Rtnl1-containing membranes colocalize with ribonucleoprotein complexes. As ER is actively transported into the oocyte, this colocalization suggests a role for Rtnl1- subdomain in anchoring the ribonucleoprotein complexes within and/or transporting them.
Title: Rtnl1 is enriched in a specialized germline ER that associates with ribonucleoprotein granule components.
Rtnl1 function appears to be non-essential or redundant since loss of function Rtnl1 mutants are viable. However, a significant reduction in life expectancy was seen in Rtnl1 mutant flies. This may point towards a possible protective
Title: The Drosophila reticulon, Rtnl-1, has multiple differentially expressed isoforms that are associated with a sub-compartment of the endoplasmic reticulum.
