SPT33_MOUSE / Q8C624 Spermatogenesis-associated protein 33 from Mus musculus (Mouse) (see 3 papers)
Aligns to 63:130 / 132 (51.5%), covers 100.0% of PF15382, 132.9 bits

• function: Plays an important role in sperm motility and male fertility (PubMed:34446558). Required for sperm midpiece flexibility and for the localization of sperm calcineurin to the mitochondria (PubMed:34446558). Promotes mitophagy as well as acts as an autophagy mediator in male germline cells (PubMed:33087875). Links damaged mitochondria to autophagosomes via its binding to the outer mitochondrial membrane protein VDAC2, as well as to key autophagy machinery component ATG16L1 (PubMed:33087875).
  subunit: Interacts (via PQIIIT motif) with PPP3R2 and PPP3CC (PubMed:34446558). Interacts with VDAC2 (PubMed:33087875, PubMed:34446558). Interacts with ATG16L1 (via WD repeats) (PubMed:33087875). Interacts with PPP3R1, PPP3CA and PPP3CB (By similarity).
  disruption phenotype: Mice exhibit reduced sperm motility because of an inflexible midpiece, leading to impaired male fertility (PubMed:34446558). Spata33 knockout in Sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells suppresses mitophagy (PubMed:33087875).

SPT33_HUMAN / Q96N06 Spermatogenesis-associated protein 33 from Homo sapiens (Human) (see paper)
Aligns to 70:137 / 139 (48.9%), covers 98.5% of PF15382, 132.9 bits
