Human OLA1 (hOLA1) is an ATPase that binds and hydrolyzes ATP more efficiently than GTP, distinguishing it from other Obg-family GTPases. X-ray crystal structure of hOLA1 bound to the non-hydrolyzable ATP analogue AMPPCP explains the altered nucleotide specificity of the YchF/OLA1 subfamily. |

OLA1 functions as a negative regulator of the cellular antioxidant response through nontranscriptional mechanisms. Knockdown of OLA1 increases resistance to oxidizing agents (tBH, diamide), decreases intracellular ROS, and reduces glutathione depletion, without changing mRNA levels of antioxidant genes or requiring de novo protein synthesis. |

OLA1 stabilizes HSP70 by binding to the HSP70 carboxyl-terminus variable domain, thereby preventing recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP and blocking CHIP-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of HSP70. OLA1 knockdown reduces HSP70 levels and impairs thermotolerance; overexpression elevates HSP70 and improves heat-shock survival. |

OLA1 localizes to centrosomes in interphase and spindle poles in mitosis, directly binds to BRCA1 (amino-terminal region) and γ-tubulin, and is required for centrosome number regulation. OLA1 knockdown causes centrosome amplification and microtubule aster formation. A cancer-associated OLA1 mutant (E168Q) fails to bind BRCA1 and cannot rescue centrosome amplification. BRCA1 variant I42V also abrogates BRCA1-OLA1 binding. |

OLA1 negatively regulates cell adhesion and spreading. OLA1-deficient cells show elevated FAK protein levels and decreased Ser3 phosphorylation of cofilin; OLA1-overexpressing cells show the opposite. OLA1 thus regulates actin dynamics and cell-matrix adhesion through FAK and cofilin. |

OLA1 inhibits protein synthesis and promotes the integrated stress response (ISR) by binding eIF2, hydrolyzing GTP, and interfering with eIF2 ternary complex (TC) formation. OLA1 depletion causes hypoactive ISR and reduces CHOP-mediated apoptosis, while promoting tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. |

OLA1 is required for normal cell cycle progression and organismal development in mice. Ola1-/- MEFs accumulate p21 due to enhanced mRNA translation mediated through an eIF2-dependent mechanism. Knockout of p21 partially rescues growth retardation of Ola1-/- embryos, placing OLA1 upstream of translational p21 control. |

OLA1 requires interaction with BARD1 for proper centrosome number regulation. Five OLA1 missense mutants deficient in centrosome regulation were identified; three failed to bind BARD1. Phosphomimetic mutations restored BARD1 binding and rescued centrosome amplification. BARD1 knockdown or cancer-derived BARD1 mutants that fail to bind OLA1 also caused centrosome amplification. |

BARD1 acts as an ATPase activating protein for OLA1 via its BRCT domain binding to the OLA1 TGS domain through a conserved BUDR motif, increasing OLA1 ATPase kcat. A cancer-related BARD1 mutation V695L reduces BARD1-mediated OLA1 activation by perturbing the OLA1 binding site, as shown in a 1.88 Å crystal structure. |

Aurora A binds to OLA1 and polyubiquitinates it, targeting it for proteasomal degradation. NEK2 phosphorylates OLA1 at T124, which increases OLA1 binding to Aurora A and Aurora A-mediated polyubiquitination. Reduction of centrosomal OLA1 in G2 phase promotes pericentriolar material protein recruitment and centrosome maturation. Aurora A's E3 ligase activity is required for centrosome amplification induced by its overexpression. |

OLA1 phosphorylation at Ser232/Tyr236 triggers translocation from cytoplasm/mitochondria to the nucleus, and subsequent phosphorylation at Thr325 switches its biochemical activity from ATPase to GTPase, promoting transcription of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial bioenergetic genes. This process is regulated by ERK1/2 and restrained by PP1A. A phosphoresistant T325A OLA1 mutant fails to translocate and leads to cellular energy depletion. |

HIV-1 p17 promotes STING signaling by binding OLA1 and inhibiting OLA1's regulation of STING. OLA1 normally interacts with STING and inhibits STING translocation and phosphorylation upon cGAMP stimulation. HIV-1 p17 (but not HIV-2 or SIV p17) also specifically promotes the ATPase and GTPase activities of OLA1. |

Bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in OLA1 in humans cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with joint hypermobility. Proband-derived fibroblasts recapitulate impaired migration and proliferation. Neurons derived from proband fibroblasts show impaired adhesion and cytoskeletal control. In C. elegans, ola-1 deficiency reduces neurite numbers and suppresses microtubule dynamics and axon regrowth. |
