Axoneme specialization embedded in a "generalist" beta-tubulin.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Mar 2008

Popodi Ellen M, Hoyle Henry D, Turner F Rudolf, Xu Ke, Kruse Spencer, Raff Elizabeth C

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between the primary structure of the beta-tubulin C-terminal tail (CTT) and axoneme structure and function is explored using the spermatogenesis-specific beta2-tubulin of Drosophila. We previously showed that all beta-tubulins used for motile 9 + 2 axonemes contain a conserved sequence motif in the proximal part of the CTT, the beta-tubulin axoneme motif. The differential ability of tubulin...
