Target
Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an
exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tubulin family.
Post-translational
modifications
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.
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton.
