Abstract

Enzymes of the tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family posttranslationally modify and thereby mark microtubules by glutamylation, generating specific recognition sites for microtubule-interacting proteins. Garnham et al. report the first structure of a TTLL protein alone and in complex with microtubules, elucidating their mechanism of action.
