Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Representative immunofluorescent images of 3- and 6-month MCOs derived from SPAST WT/WT , SPAST WT/S245X and SPAST WT/C448Y lines, untreated or treated with the HDAC6 inhibitor Tub A, stained for acetylated tubulin and βIII-tubulin. B-C. Quantification of the acetylated tubulin to βIII-tubulin ratio in 3-month (B) and 6-month (C) MCOs (n=3-6). Tub A significantly increased tubulin acetylation in mutant MCOs. D. Representative immunofluorescent images of 3- and 6-month-old MCOs from SPAST WT/WT , SPAST WT/S245X and SPAST WT/C448Y lines, untreated or treated with TubA, stained for SMI32 (a marker of early axonal degeneration) and βIII-tubulin. E-F. Quantification of the SMI32 to βIII-tubulin ratio in individual axons from 3-month (n=8, E) and 6-month (n=10, F) MCOs. Tub A treatment significantly reduced SMI32 levels in mutant organoids. G-H. Quantification of HDAC6 enzymatic activity in 3-month (n=3, G) and 6-month (n=3, H) MCOs from SPAST WT/WT , SPAST WT/S245X and SPAST WT/C448Y lines, with or without Tub A treatment. HDAC6 activity is expressed as units (U) per mg of total protein, where one unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to deacetylate 1pmol of a synthetic acetylated peptide substrate per minute. Elevated HDAC6 activity in mutant organoids is significantly reduced by Tub A treatment at both time points. I-J. WB (I) and quantification (J) of HDAC6 (black arrow) protein levels in 3-month MCOs derived from SPAST WT/WT , SPAST WT/S245X and SPAST WT/C448Y lines. HDAC6 expression, normalized to GAPDH and shown relative to SPAST WT/WT , revealed no significant differences across genotypes (n = 4). One-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc analysis. *p<0.05, **p<0.002, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. All data shown as mean ± SD, see Supplementary Tables 3-4 for details.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A-B. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) in HEK293T cells co-expressing HDAC6-mCherry and Flag-tagged spastin isoforms revealed that HDAC6 binds selectively to M1-spastin, but not M87-spastin (A). Quantification confirmed robust enrichment of M1-spastin isoforms, in the HDAC6-containing immunoprecipitated complex, with significantly increased interaction observed for mutant forms (B). C-D. Reciprocal Co-IP using anti-Flag antibody was performed to isolate spastin isoforms, followed by WB with anti-HDAC6 and anti-phospho-HDAC6 antibodies, showing M1-Spastin C448Y -Flag immunoprecipitated more phosphorylated HDAC6. (C). Quantification also confirmed that mutant M1-spastin isoforms pulled down greater amounts of HDAC6 compared to controls (D). E. HDAC6 activity assays in SH-SY5Y cells expressing various M1 and M87 spastin mutants showed that only M1 mutations led to significantly elevated HDAC6 enzymatic activity, indicating an isoform-specific gain-of-function effect. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc analysis. **p<0.002, ***p<0.001, and Unpaired t-test. ##p<0.005, ###p<0.001. All data shown as mean ± SD, see Supplementary Tables 5-6 for details.

WB analysis of lumbar spinal cord lysates showing levels of acetylated tubulin and βIII-tubulin in WT and dHet mice treated with Tub A or vehicle.
