In silico induced effect of N-ε-lysine acetylation on microtubule stability and subsequent interaction of microtubule-associated proteins.

Plant systems have been considered valuable models for addressing fundamental questions of microtubule (MT) organization due to their considerable practical utility. Protein acetylation is a very common protein modification, and therate of acetylation can be modulated in cells in different biological states, and these changes can be detected at a molecular level. Here, we focused on K40, K112, and K394 residues as putative acetylation sites, which were shown to exist in both plants and mammals.
