We have previously shown that the alpha-tubulin of Chlamydomonas flagella is synthesized as a precursor which is modified by acetylation in the flagellum during flagellar assembly. In this report, we show the presence of an alpha-tubulin acetylase activity in isolated Chlamydomonas flagella that is highly specific for alpha-tubulin of both mammalian brain and Chlamydomonas.
我们之前已经表明,衣藻鞭毛的α-微管蛋白是以一种前体形式合成的,该前体在鞭毛组装过程中在鞭毛内通过乙酰化进行修饰。在本报告中,我们展示了在分离的衣藻鞭毛中存在一种α-微管蛋白乙酰转移酶活性,该活性对哺乳动物脑和衣藻的α-微管蛋白都具有高度特异性。
