Alpha-tubulin acetylase activity in isolated Chlamydomonas flagella

We have previously shown that the alpha-tubulin of Chlamydomonas flagella is synthesized as a precursor which is modified by acetylation in the flagellum during flagellar assembly. In this report, we show the presence of an alpha-tubulin acetylase activity in isolated Chlamydomonas flagella that is...

Sumario:We have previously shown that the alpha-tubulin of Chlamydomonas flagella is synthesized as a precursor which is modified by acetylation in the flagellum during flagellar assembly. In this report, we show the presence of an alpha-tubulin acetylase activity in isolated Chlamydomonas flagella that is highly specific for alpha-tubulin of both mammalian brain and Chlamydomonas.
