摘 要:摘 要:微管是由α/β 微管蛋白(α/β-tubulin) 聚合形成的管状细胞骨架,在许多生物学过程中起着重要的作用。微管的结构与性质受到多种因素的调控,其中微管蛋白的翻译后修饰是一类重要的调控方式。主要介绍目前已发现的微管蛋白翻译后修饰种类,并讨论这些修饰的生物学功能与作用机制。
Abstract: Abstract: Microtubule is one of cytoskeletons which possesses a hollow cylindrical structure and polymerized from α/β-tubulin heterodimer. It plays an important role during a diversity of biological processes. The structure and property of microtubule are regulated by various regulators, and the post-translational modification of tubulin is the important one. We herein summarize the classification of tubulin post-translational modification and discuss its functions and underlying mechanisms.
