Abstract：
:The C terminus of the tubulin alpha-subunit of most eukaryotic cells undergoes a cycle of tyrosination and detyrosination using two specific enzymes, a tubulin tyrosine ligase (TTL) and a tubulin carboxypeptidase. Although this enzyme cycle is conserved in evolution and exhibits rapid turnover, the meaning of this modification has remained elusive. We have isolated several NIH-3T3 derived clonal cell lines that lack TTL (TTL-). TTL- cells contain a unique tubulin isotype (delta2-tubulin) that can be detected with specific antibodies. When injected into nude mice, both TTL- cells and TTL- cells stably transfected with TTL cDNA form sarcomas. But in tumors formed from TTL rescued cells, TTL is systematically lost during tumor growth. A strong selection process has thus acted during tumor growth to suppress TTL activity. In accord with this result, we find suppression of TTL activity in the majority of human tumors assayed with delta2-tubulin antibody. We conclude there is a widespread loss of TTL activity during tumor growth in situ, suggesting that TTL activity may play a role in tumor cell regulation.
