Tubulin tyrosine ligase

From Proteopedia

Tubulin tyrosine ligase (cyan) complex with α-tubulin (grey and pink), β-tubulin (green and yellow), stathmin (magenta), MES, GTP, Ca+2, Cl- and Mg+2 ions (PDB code 4iij) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Tubulin tyrosine ligase (TTL) adds tyrosine in an ATP-dependent reaction to the C-terminal of a detyrosinated a-tubulin. The detyrosination of α-tubulin is a posttranslational modification which exposes glutamate in the new tubulin C-terminal. The detyrosinated α-tubulin forms Glu-microtubules[1]. The complex of TTL and tubulin contains Stathmin (STM) - another tubulin-binding protein[2]. Disease Mutated TTL causes morphogenic abnormalities and cancer. There is a loss of TTL activity during tumor growth[3]. Structural highlights . TTL structure is composed of . via 3 loops and one helix terminal[4].
