Abstract excerpt
Tubulin post-translational modifications regulate microtubule dynamics. Although α-tubulin acetylation has been linked to microtubule stability, how this modification affects the overall organization of cellular microtubules remains obscure. Here, we generated a Chlamydomonas mutant lacking the acetyltransferase αTAT1, which completely abolished α-tubulin K40 acetylation. Surprisingly, the steady-state lengths of...
