Entrez Gene summary for TUBA4A:

Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer

of alpha and beta tubulin. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents are part of the tubulin superfamily,

which is composed of six distinct families. Genes from the alpha, beta and gamma tubulin families are found in all

eukaryotes. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a

critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulin genes and they are

highly conserved among and between species. This gene encodes an alpha tubulin that is a highly conserved homolog of a

rat testis-specific alpha tubulin. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TBA4A_HUMAN, P68366

Function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on

the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain

summary for TUBA4A:

Microtubules are cylindrical tubes of 20-25 nm in diameter. They are composed of protofilaments which are in

turn composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin polymers. Each microtubule is polarized, at one end alpha-subunits

are exposed (-) and at the other beta-subunits are exposed (+). Microtubules act as a scaffold to determine

cell shape, and provide a backbone for cell organelles and vesicles to move on, a process that requires

motor proteins. The major microtubule motor proteins are kinesin, which generally moves towards the (+) end

of the microtubule, and dynein, which generally moves towards the (-) end. Microtubules also form the

spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis.

Post-translational modifications:

Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are polyglutamylated. This modification occurs exclusively on glutamate

residues and results in polyglutamate chains on the gamma-carboxyl group. Also monoglycylated but not polyglycylated

due to the absence of functional TTLL10 in human. Monoglycylation is mainly limited to tubulin incorporated into

axonemes (cilia and flagella) whereas glutamylation is prevalent in neuronal cells, centrioles, axonemes, and the

mitotic spindle. Both modifications can coexist on the same protein on adjacent residues, and lowering glycylation

levels increases polyglutamylation, and reciprocally. The precise function of such modifications is still unclear but

they regulate the assembly and dynamics of axonemal microtubules (Probable)¹

Acetylation of alpha chains at Lys-40 stabilizes microtubules and affects affinity and processivity of microtubule

motors. This modification has a role in multiple cellular functions, ranging from cell motility, cell cycle

progression or cell differentiation to intracellular trafficking and signaling (By similarity)¹
