Entrez Gene summary for TUBA4A Gene:
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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013)

GeneCards Summary for TUBA4A Gene:
TUBA4A (tubulin, alpha 4a) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBA4A include drug addiction, and lissencephaly. GO annotations related to this gene include GTP binding and structural constituent of cytoskeleton. An important paralog of this gene is TUBA3C.

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 Gene:
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.

Recommended Name: Tubulin alpha-4A chain  
Size: 448 amino acids; 49924 Da
Subunit: Dimer of alpha and beta chains. A typical microtubule is a hollow water-filled tube with an outer
diameter of 25 nm and an inner diameter of 15 nM. Alpha-beta heterodimers associate head-to-tail to form
protofilaments running lengthwise along the microtubule wall with the beta-tubulin subunit facing the microtubule
plus end conferring a structural polarity. Microtubules usually have 13 protofilaments but different
protofilament numbers can be found in some organisms and specialized cells
Miscellaneous: This tubulin does not have a C-terminal tyrosine

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
  • Ubiquitination2 at Lys96, Lys163, Lys280, Lys304, Lys311, Lys326, Lys352, Lys370, Lys394, Lys401
  • Glycosylation2 at Asn380
