Editor's evaluation: Differential modification of the C-terminal tails of different α-tubulins and their importance for microtubule function in vivo

Year: 2023

Type: peer-review

Abstract: Specific glutamylation of some α-tubulin isotypes affects kinesin-1 localization and transport processes that depend on it, but their absence can speed up transport, possibly explaining why some large cells express α-tubulin isotypes that are not glutamylated.
