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 indicates that polyglycylation levels of tubulin is highly regulated at the cell level. The AXO49 antibody is reactive mainly on axonemal tubulin of motile cilia and flagella which are polyglycylated. In some cases, reactivity may also be observed on other very stable microtubule networks. This antibody is useful for cilia and flagella detection.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the lateral connecting branches of a polymer, which contains at least 3 glycine residues. This antibody demonstrates cross reactivity against polyglycylated tubulin, as well as with other polyglycylated proteins .

Immunogen

Insoluble fraction of Paramecium cilia (Paramecium axonemes)

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
