Cells, 2021 Members of the tubulin superfamily are GTPases; the activities of GTPases are necessary for life. The members of the tubulin superfamily are the constituents of the microtubules and the γ-tubulin meshwork.

Species level identification of conifer associatedCeratocystissapstain fungi by PCR-RFLP on a β-tubulin gene fragment [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003 The genus Ceratocystis includes several morphologically similar species commonly found as agents of sapstain in coniferous trees. In this paper we describe a simple and reliable polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique that aids in the identification and differentiation of these fungi.

Thiabendazole resistance and mutations in the β-tubulin gene ofPenicillium expansumstrains isolated from apples and pears with blue mold decay [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2009 Penicillium expansum is the causal agent of blue mold rot, a postharvest decay of stored fruits. This fungus also produces the mycotoxins patulin and citrinin. Control of P. expansum still relies mainly on the use of fungicides such as thiabendazole. Since its introduction, resistant strains have been reported.

Vasohibin-1 has α-tubulin detyrosinating activity in glomerular podocytes [PDF]
, 2022 Podocytes are highly specialized epithelial cells in glomeruli, with a complex morphology composed of a cell body, primary processes, and foot processes, which maintain barrier function in glomerular filtration.

Genetic polymorphism at the β-tubulin locus among human and animal isolates ofCryptosporidium parvum [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999 Sequence analysis of a fragment of the beta-tubulin gene was performed on 13 isolates of the parasite Cryptosporidium parvum, eight from humans and five from animals. A total of 12 synonymous substitutions and a deletion of two bases within the intron sequence were found.

Atomic resolution structure of human α-tubulin acetyltransferase bound to acetyl-CoA [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Acetylation of lysine residues is an important posttranslational modification found in all domains of life. α-tubulin is specifically acetylated on lysine 40, a modification that serves to stabilize microtubules of axons and cilia. Whereas histone acetyltransferases have been extensively studied, there is no structural and mechanistic information ...

Cap-Gly proteins at microtubule plus ends: is EB1 detyrosination involved? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Localization of CAP-Gly proteins such as CLIP170 at microtubule+ends results from their dual interaction with α-tubulin and EB1 through their C-terminal amino acids -EEY.
