Alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase
In enzymology, an alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.108) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- acetyl-CoA + [alpha-tubulin]-L-lysine
CoA + [alpha-tubulin]-N6-acetyl-L-lysine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and [[[alpha-tubulin]-L-lysine]], whereas its two products are CoA and [[[alpha-tubulin]-N6-acetyl-L-lysine]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:[alpha-tubulin]-L-lysine N6-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include alpha-tubulin acetylase, TAT, alpha-tubulin acetyltransferase, tubulin N-acetyltransferase, acetyl-CoA:alpha-tubulin-L-lysine N-acetyltransferase, and acetyl-CoA:[alpha-tubulin]-L-lysine 6-N-acetyltransferase.
