description | Tubulin proteostasis is regulated by a group of molecular chaperones termed tubulin cofactors (TBC). This entry represents TBCE (tubulin-specific chaperone E), which is an alpha-tubulin binding protein that, together with Arl2 and cofactors D (TBCD), A (TBCA or p14), B (TBCB) and C (TBCC), participate in tubulin biogenesis []. TBCE contains an N-terminal cytoskeleton-associated protein with glycine-rich segment (CAP-Gly) domain, a leucine-rich repeat protein-protein interaction domain followed by leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains, and a C-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain [].Mutations in TBCE gene cause the Kenny-Caffey/Sanjad-Sakati syndrome, characterised by hypoparathyroidism, mental retardation and facial dysmorphism []. |
