Alterations in the balance of tubulin glycylation and glutamylation in photoreceptors leads to retinal degeneration.

Abstract excerpt

Tubulin is subject to a wide variety of posttranslational modifications, which, as part of the tubulin code, are involved in the regulation of microtubule functions. Glycylation has so far predominantly been found in motile cilia and flagella, and absence of this modification leads to ciliary disassembly. Here, we demonstrate that the correct functioning of connecting cilia of photoreceptors, which are non-motile...
