General description
Several post-translational modifications of tubulin have been identified in eukaryotic cells. Glycylation is a poly-modification which occurs as lateral branching of glycine chains of variable length identified in axonemal tubulin of Paramecium cilia. This modification has been detected on tubulin and/or cilia/flagella of many unicellular and pluricellular organisms. The differential distribution of distinct polyglycylated tubulin isoforms between cytoplasmic and axonemal compartments in Paramecium indicates that the polyglycylation level of tubulin is highly regulated at the cell level. In Paramecium, the TAP 952 antibody is reactive on cytoplasmic and axonemal tubulin. In metazoan cells and/or cell lines, it is specific for tubulin of motile cilia and primary cilia, and thus useful for motile cilia and primary cilia detection.
Specificity
This antibody recognizes the C-terminus of monoglycylated alpha and beta-tubulins.

Tubulins are the major proteins within centriolar and axonemal structures. In all cell types studied so far, numerous alpha- and beta-tubulin isoforms are generated both by expression of a multigenic family and various post-translational modifications. We have developed a primary

Polyglycylation is a posttranslational modification that generates glycine side chains on proteins. Here we identify a family of evolutionarily conserved glycine ligases that modify tubulin using different enzymatic mechanisms. In mammals, two distinct enzyme types catalyze the initiation and elongation

Ciliates are very good models for studying post-translationally generated tubulin heterogeneity because they exhibit highly differentiated microtubular networks in combination with reduced genetic diversity. We have approached the analysis of tubulin heterogeneity in Paramecium through extensive isolation and characterization of

In most ciliated cell types, tubulin is modified by glycylation, a posttranslational modification of unknown function. We show that the TTLL3 proteins act as tubulin glycine ligases with chain-initiating activity. In Tetrahymena, deletion of TTLL3 shortened axonemes and increased their
