Identifiers and Description
Gene Model Identifier
TTHERM_00836580
Standard Name
BTU2 (Beta-Tubulin 2
)
Aliases
146.m00071 | PreTt17770 | 3743.m00003
Description
Beta-tubulin; ciliary form is phosphorylated by CaMK; multiple polyglycation sites are required for survival and partial removal affects growth, motility, and cytokinesis; transcript destabilized by heat shock; protein identical to Btu1p
TUB2 Beta-tubulin; associates
with alpha-tubulin (Tub1p and
Tub3p) to form tubulin dimer,
which polymerizes to form micr
otubules
