Mitochondrial energy metabolism is required for lifespan extension by the spastic paraplegia-associated protein spartin

Hereditary spastic paraplegias, a group of neurodegenerative disorders, can be caused by loss-of-function mutations in the protein spartin. However, the physiological role of spartin remains largely elusive. Here we show that heterologous expression of human or Drosophila spartin extends chronologic...
