Effect of alpha-tubulin acetylation on the doublet microtubule structure

S. K. Yang, S. Kubo, C. S. Black, K. Peri, D. Dai, T. Legal, M. Valente-Paterno, J. Gaertig, K. H. Bui

This study examines how alpha-tubulin acetylation affects doublet microtubule structure in Tetrahymena cilia using cryo-EM, MD, and mass spectrometry, finding small-scale structural changes and a link to phosphorylation.
