EC 6.3.2.62     
Accepted name: β-tubulin-glutamate ligase
Reaction: n ATP + [β-tubulin]-L-glutamate + n L-glutamate = [β-tubulin]-(γ-(poly-α-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + n ADP + n phosphate (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + [β-tubulin]-L-glutamate + L-glutamate = [β-tubulin]-(γ-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + ADP + phosphate
(1b) ATP + [β-tubulin]-(γ-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + L-glutamate = [β-tubulin]-(α-L-glutamyl-γ-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + ADP + phosphate
(1c) ATP + [β-tubulin]-(α-L-glutamyl-γ-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + n L-glutamate = [β-tubulin]-(γ-(poly-α-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamyl)-L-glutamate + n ADP + n phosphate
Other name(s): β-tubulin polyglutamylase; TTLL4 (ambiguous); TTLL7 (ambiguous)
Systematic name: [β-tubulin]-L-glutamate:L-glutamate ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: The eukaryotic tubulin proteins, which polymerize into microtubules, are highly modified by the addition of side-chains. The polyglutamylation reaction catalysed by this group of enzymes consists of two biochemically distinct steps: initiation and elongation. Initiation comprises the formation of an isopeptide bond with the γ-carboxyl group of the glutamate acceptor site, whereas elongation consists of the addition of glutamate residues linked by regular peptide bonds to the γ-linked residue. This entry describes enzymes that act on β-tubulins and other proteins with glutamate-rich regions but not on α-tubulins.
