γ-Tubulin 2 nucleates microtubules and is downregulated in mouse early embryogenesis.
PLoS ONE, 2012 γ-Tubulin is the key protein for microtubule nucleation. Duplication of the γ-tubulin gene occurred several times during evolution, and in mammals γ-tubulin genes encode proteins which share ∼97% sequence identity.

Delineating the role of βIV-Tubulins in pancreatic cancer: βIVb-tubulin inhibition sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to vinca alkaloids [PDF]
, 2016 Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal disease which is characterized by chemoresistance. Components of the cell cytoskeleton are therapeutic targets in cancer. βIV-tubulin is one such component that has two isotypes—βIVa and βIVb.

Effects of α-tubulin acetylation on microtubule structure and stability
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Microtubules are polymers of αβ-tubulin that play important roles in the cell. Regulation of their dynamics is critical for function and includes the posttranslational modification of tubulin.

Transcription factor LSF facilitiates lysine methylation of α-tubulin by microtubule-associated SET8 [PDF]
, 2019 Microtubules are critical for mitosis, cell motility, and protein and organelle transport, and are a validated target for anticancer drugs. However, tubulin regulation and recruitment in these cellular processes is less understood.

Mitotic cell death induction by targeting the mitotic spindle with tubulin-inhibitory indole derivative molecules [PDF]
, 2017 Tubulin-targeting molecules are widely used cancer therapeutic agents. They inhibit microtubule-based structures, including the mitotic spindle, ultimately preventing cell division.

BMC Research Notes, 2012 Background The chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel arrests cell division by binding to the hetero-dimeric protein tubulin. Subtle differences in tubulin sequences, across eukaryotes and among β-tubulin isotypes, can have profound impact on paclitaxel ...

Tubulin acetylation protects long-lived microtubules against mechanical aging
Nature Cell Biology, 2017 Long-lived microtubules endow the eukaryotic cell with long-range transport abilities. While long-lived microtubules are acetylated on Lys40 of α-tubulin (αK40), acetylation takes place after stabilization and does not protect against depolymerization ...

Severing enzymes amplify microtubule arrays through lattice GTP-tubulin incorporation
Science, 2018 Severing to build microtubules Microtubules are essential intracellular polymers, built from tubulin subunits, that establish cell shape, move organelles, and segregate chromosomes during cell division. Vemu et al.
