Biological function summary
Beta III tubulin acts in stabilizing microtubules which are essential for proper neuronal function. It exists as part of the tubulin dimer complex partnering with alpha-tubulin to form the building blocks of microtubules. This particular isotype is often used as a marker for neuronal differentiation due to its specific expression pattern in neural tissues. Its regulation and expression levels are important for neurogenesis and maintaining neuronal plasticity.
Pathways
Beta III tubulin plays a role in neuron-specific intracellular transport and signaling pathways like the Rho GTPase and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways are involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptotic processes. Relationships with other proteins such as kinesins and dyneins are important in these pathways influencing intracellular transport and signaling through binding and moving along the microtubule tracks created by beta-tubulin isotypes including beta III tubulin.

General info
Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers (PubMed : 34996871). Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms (PubMed : 34996871). Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 34996871). TUBB3 plays a critical role in proper axon guidance and maintenance (PubMed : 20074521). Binding of NTN1/Netrin-1 to its receptor UNC5C might cause dissociation of UNC5C from polymerized TUBB3 in microtubules and thereby lead to increased microtubule dynamics and axon repulsion (PubMed : 28483977). Plays a role in dorsal root ganglion axon projection towards the spinal cord (PubMed : 28483977).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the tubulin family.
Post-translational modifications
Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are polyglutamylated, resulting in polyglutamate chains on the gamma-carboxyl group (PubMed:26875866). Polyglutamylation plays a key role in microtubule severing by spastin (SPAST). SPAST preferentially recognizes and acts on microtubules decorated with short polyglutamate tails: severing activity by SPAST increases as the number of glutamates per tubulin rises from one to eight, but decreases beyond this glutamylation threshold (PubMed:26875866). Glutamylation is also involved in cilia motility (By similarity).. Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are monoglycylated but not polyglycylated due to the absence of functional TTLL10 in human. Monoglycylation is mainly limited to tubulin incorporated into cilia and flagella axonemes, which is required for their stability and maintenance. Flagella glycylation controls sperm motility. Both polyglutamylation and monoglycylation can coexist on the same protein on adjacent residues, and lowering glycylation levels increases polyglutamylation, and reciprocally.. Phosphorylated on Ser-172 by CDK1 during the cell cycle, from metaphase to telophase, but not in interphase. This phosphorylation inhibits tubulin incorporation into microtubules.
