Post-translational modifications regulate microtubule function

Key Points The carboxy-terminal tails of α- and β-tubulin are essential for microtubule function. They lie on the outer surface of the microtubule where they can influence the binding of associated proteins. With the exception of acetylation, the post-translational modifications of microtubules — th...
