微管乙酰化及其细胞学功能

Microtubules, the main component of the cytoskeleton, play important roles in the maintainance of cell morphology and the regulation of cellular functions. It has been reported that there are many post-translational modifications occurred on microtubules, including acetylaton, which is common in organisms,and attracts more and more attentions for their specific effects on tubulin-associated biological processes. In this paper we introduced the recent advances in tubulin acetylation and summarized its effects on cellular funcions.
