Polyglycylation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polyglycylation is a form of posttranslational modification of glutamate residues of the carboxyl-terminal region tubulin in certain microtubules (eg axonemal) originally discovered in paramecium^[1], and later shown in mammalian neurons as well^[2].
