Abstract excerpt
Acetylation of ⍺-tubulin at lysine 40 (⍺-tubK40Ac) is a conserved post-translational modification enriched on long-lived microtubules, yet its roles in vertebrate development remain incompletely defined. In zebrafish, morpholino-based knockdown of the ⍺-tubulin acetyltransferase ⍺TAT1 has been reported to cause severe developmental defects, in contrast to genetic studies in mammals. Here, we generated...
