Acetylation of lysine 40 in alpha-tubulin is not essential in Tetrahymena thermophila.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Jun 1995

Gaertig J, Cruz M A, Bowen J, Gu L, Pennock D G, Gorovsky M A

Abstract excerpt

In Tetrahymena, at least 17 distinct microtubule structures are assembled from a single primary sequence type of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimer, precluding distinctions among microtubular systems based on tubulin primary sequence isotypes. Tetrahymena tubulins also are modified by several types of posttranslational reactions including acetylation of alpha-tubulin at lysine 40, a modification found in most...
