Protein Domain : Tubulin-tyrosine ligase/Tubulin polyglutamylase IPR004344

Type  Family
Description  Tubulins and microtubules are subjected to several post-translational modifications of the carboxy-terminal end of most major forms of tubulins has been extensively analysed. This modification cycle involves a specific carboxypeptidase and the activity of the tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) and the tubulin polyglutamylase (TTLL) [ , ]. Tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) catalyses the ATP-dependent post-translational addition of a tyrosine to the carboxy terminal end of detyrosinated alpha-tubulin. Tubulin polyglutamylase (such as TTLL10) can modify both tubulin and non-tubulin proteins, generating side chains of glycine on the γ-carboxyl groups of specific glutamate residues of target proteins []. Tubulin polyglutamylation may be involved in the organisation of the neuronal microtubule network, in centriole stability, axoneme motility and mitosis [].
