A R214C amino acid substitution has been introduced into the endogenous atl locus; this mutation is equivalent to a R239C change in the orthologous human ATL1 gene, a pathogenic variant associated with SPG3A (an autosomal dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia).

R214C
Analogous R239C mutation in human ATL1 implicated in spastic paraplegia 3A.
Homozygous atlR214C third instar larval brains exhibit longer endoplasmic reticulum (ER) profiles when compared to controls. Also the morphology of individual Golgi stacks looks altered, as dilated ER or Golgi cisternae are present, as well as double- or multi-membrane autophagosomes.
