Both carboxy-terminal tails of alpha- and beta-tubulin are essential, but either one will suffice.

Current biology : CB - 19 Feb 2002

Duan Jianming, Gorovsky Martin A

Abstract excerpt

Microtubules (MTs) are organized into distinct systems essential for cell shape, movement, intracellular transport, and division. Electron crystallographic analyses provide little information about how MTs produce diverse structures and functions, perhaps because they failed to visualize the last 10 residues of the alpha- and the last 18 of the beta-tubulin C-terminal tails (CTTs), which likely play a role in MT...
