Microtubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities ranging from mitosis and transport events to cell movement and the maintenance of cell shape.
Tubulin itself is a globular protein consisting of two polypeptides (a and b-tubulin).
A and B-tubulin dimers are assembled to 13 protofilaments that form a microtubule of 22nm diameter.
Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha tubulin.
Assembled microtubules can again be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton-associated carboxypeptidase.
Detyrosinated alpha tubulin is referred to as Glu-tubulin.
Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated A-tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation, which is characteristic of microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle.
This makes an excellent loading control.
