Several post-translational modifications of tubulin have been identified in eukaryotic cells. Glycylation is a poly-modification which occurs as lateral branching of glycine chains of variable length identified in axonemal tubulin of Paramecium cilia. This modification has been detected on tubulin and/or cilia/flagella of many unicellular and pluricellular organisms. The differential distribution of distinct polyglycylated tubulin isoforms between cytoplasmic and axonemal compartments indicates that polyglycylation levels of tubulin is highly regulated at the cell level. The AXO49 antibody is reactive mainly on axonemal tubulin of motile cilia and flagella which are polyglycylated. In some cases, reactivity may also be observed on other very stable microtubule networks. This antibody is useful for cilia and flagella detection.
Specificity
This antibody recognizes the lateral connecting branches of a polymer, which contains at least 3 glycine residues. This antibody demonstrates cross reactivity against polyglycylated tubulin, as well as with other polyglycylated proteins .

Primary cilia are compartmentalised from the rest of the cell by a ciliary gate comprising transition fibres and a transition zone. The ciliary gate allows the selective import and export of molecules such as transmembrane receptors and transport proteins. These

A useful model for determining the mechanisms by which actin and actin binding proteins control cellular architecture is the Drosophila melanogaster process of spermatogenesis. During the final step of spermatogenesis, 64 syncytial spermatids individualized as stable actin cones move synchronously

A proliferated and post-translationally modified microtubule network underlies cellular growth in cardiac hypertrophy and contributes to contractile dysfunction in heart failure. Yet how the heart achieves this modified network is poorly understood. Determining how the "tubulin code"-the permutations of tubulin

Axonemal dynein motors are large multi-subunit complexes that drive ciliary movement. Cytoplasmic assembly of these motor complexes involves several co-chaperones, some of which are related to the R2TP co-chaperone complex. Mutations of these genes in humans cause the motile ciliopathy
Yeast Atg8 and its homologs are involved in autophagosome biogenesis in all eukaryotes. These are the most widely used markers for autophagy thanks to the association of their lipidated forms with autophagic membranes. The Atg8 protein family expanded in animals
