Target
Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an
1
exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain.
Tissue specificity
Expressed at a high level in fetal brain.
Involvement in disease
Defects in TUBA1A are the cause of lissencephaly type 3 (LIS3) [MIM:611603]. LIS is
characterized by a smooth brain surface due to the absence (agyria) or reduction (pachygyria) of
surface convolutions. It is often associated with psychomotor retardation and seizures. LIS3
features include agyria or pachygyria or laminar heterotopia, severe mental retardation, motor
delay, variable presence of seizures, and abnormalities of corpus callosum, hippocampus,
cerebellar vermis and brainstem.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tubulin family.
Post-translational
modifications
Undergoes a tyrosination/detyrosination cycle, the cyclic removal and re-addition of a C-terminal
tyrosine residue by the enzymes tubulin tyrosine carboxypeptidase (TTCP) and tubulin tyrosine
ligase (TTL), respectively.
Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are polyglutamylated. This modification occurs
exclusively on glutamate residues and results in polyglutamate chains on the gamma-carboxyl
group. Also monoglycylated but not polyglycylated due to the absence of functional TTLL10 in
human. Monoglycylation is mainly limited to tubulin incorporated into axonemes (cilia and
flagella) whereas glutamylation is prevalent in neuronal cells, centrioles, axonemes, and the
mitotic spindle. Both modifications can coexist on the same protein on adjacent residues, and
lowering glycylation levels increases polyglutamylation, and reciprocally. The precise function of
such modifications is still unclear but they regulate the assembly and dynamics of axonemal
microtubules.
Acetylation of alpha-tubulins at Lys-40 stabilizes microtubules and affects affinity and
processivity of microtubule motors. This modification has a role in multiple cellular functions,
ranging from cell motility, cell cycle progression or cell differentiation to intracellular trafficking
and signaling.
Cellular localization
