Crystal structure of human alpha tubulin acetyltransferase catalytic domain Q58A variant
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23071318
Function
[ATAT_HUMAN] Specifically acetylates 'Lys-40' in alpha-tubulin on the lumenal side of microtubules. May affect microtubule stability and regulate microtubule dynamics. May be involved in neuron development.[1]
