Background

Microtubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities ranging from mitosis and transport events to cell movement and the maintainance of cell shape.
Tubulin itself is a globular protein which consists of two polypeptides, α-tubulin and β-tubulin. α- and β-tubulin dimers are assembled to 13 protofilaments that form a microtubule of 22 nm diameter.

Assembled microtubules can be detyrosinated by a carboxypeptidaseS called vasohibins / SVBPs. Detyrosinated α-tubulin is referred to as Glu-α-tubulin and occurs for exemple in neurons. This reaction can be reverted by Tubulin tyrosine ligase (TTL) that ads a C-terminal tyrosin to Glu α-tubulin.
Another post-translational modification of α-tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation which is also characteristic for microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle. A third variant of detyrosinated α-tubulin is Δ2-tubulin which lacks the C-terminal glutamic acid. It cannot be tyrosinated by TTL and is one of the dominant α-tubulin isoforms in neurons.
