Alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase

In enzymology, an alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.108) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:acetyl-CoA + [alpha-tubulin] -L-lysine $ightleftharpoons$ 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.
