Background
TTL is a cytosolic enzyme involved in the posttranslational modification of alpha-tubulin (see MIM 602529). Alpha-tubulin within assembled microtubules is detyrosinated over time at the C terminus. After microtubule disassembly, TTL restores the tyrosine residues and consequently participates in a cycle of tubulin detyrosination and tyrosination (Erck et al., 2003 [PubMed 14571137]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + detyrosinated alpha-tubulin + L-tyrosine = alpha-tubulin + ADP + phosphate.,cofactor:Magnesium.,cofactor:Potassium.,function:Catalyzes the post-translational addition of a tyrosine to the C-terminal end of detyrosinated alpha-tubulin.,similarity:Belongs to the tubulin--tyrosine ligase family.,similarity:Contains 1 TTL domain.,subunit:Monomer.,
