HGNC Family Tubulin tyrosine ligase-like family (TTLL)
Name tubulin tyrosine ligase-like family member 3
Description Enables protein-glycine ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axoneme assembly; flagellated sperm motility; and protein polyglycylation. Predicted to be located in cilium. Predicted to be active in axoneme; microtubule cytoskeleton; and sperm flagellum. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nThe tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family is known for its role in the post‐translational modification of tubulin, yet the provided abstract (PMID: 11054573) focuses solely on the characterization of TTLL1 rather than TTLL3. In this study, TTLL1 is mapped to chromosome 22q13.1, and multiple transcript isoforms are described, with predominant expression observed in heart, brain, and testis. The authors also identify three conserved domains (TTLD1, TTLD2, and TTLD3) that are shared among TTL and TTL‐like proteins."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nAlthough the abstract does not specifically address TTLL3, the presence of conserved TTLD domains in TTLL1 suggests that members of the TTLL family—including TTLL3—may share a common mechanism involving the enzymatic regulation of tubulin through amino acid addition.
