Summary
TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein, HGNC:24164) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p15.33, encoding Tubulin polymerization-promoting protein (O94811). Regulator of microtubule dynamics that plays a key role in myelination by promoting elongation of the myelin sheath.
Enables several functions, including magnesium ion binding activity; microtubule nucleator activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; negative regulation of tubulin deacetylation; and positive regulation of protein polymerization. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; mitochondrion; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in Golgi apparatus.

Function. Regulator of microtubule dynamics that plays a key role in myelination by promoting elongation of the myelin sheath. Acts as a microtubule nucleation factor in oligodendrocytes: specifically localizes to the postsynaptic Golgi apparatus region, also named Golgi outpost, and promotes microtubule nucleation, an important step for elongation of the myelin sheath. Required for both uniform polarized growth of distal microtubules as well as directing the branching of proximal processes. Shows magnesium-dependent GTPase activity; the role of the GTPase activity is unclear. In addition to microtubule nucleation activity, also involved in microtubule bundling and stabilization of existing microtubules, thereby maintaining the integrity of the microtubule network. Regulates microtubule dynamics by promoting tubulin acetylation: acts by inhibiting the tubulin deacetylase activity of HDAC6. Also regulates cell migration: phosphorylation by ROCK1 inhibits interaction with HDAC6, resulting in decreased acetylation of tubulin and increased cell motility. Plays a role in cell proliferation by regulating the G1/S-phase transition. Involved in astral microtubule organization and mitotic spindle orientation during early stage of mitosis; this process is regulated by phosphorylation by LIMK2.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Binds tubulin; binding is inhibited by GTP. Interacts with MAPK1. Interacts with GAPDH; the interaction is direct. Interacts with LIMK1 (via the PDZ domain); the interaction is direct. Interacts with LIMK2. Interacts with HDAC6; thereby inhibiting the tubulin deacetylase activity of HDAC6. Interacts with aggregated SNCA; may have a pro-aggregatory role in synucleinopathies. Interacts with DYNLL1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with S100A2, S100A6 and S100B; these interactions inhibit TPPP dimerization.
Subcellular location. Golgi outpost. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Nucleus. Spindle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by LIMK1 on serine residues; phosphorylation may alter the tubulin polymerization activity. Phosphorylation by LIMK2, but not LIMK1, regulates astral microtubule organization at early stage of mitosis. Phosphorylation by ROCK1 at Ser-32, Ser-107 and Ser-159 inhibits interaction with HDAC6, resulting in decreased acetylation of tubulin, increased cell motility and entry into S-phase. Phosphorylation by CDK1 inhibits the microtubule polymerizing activity. Degraded by the proteasome; zinc-binding inhibits degradation by the proteasome.
Domain organisation. Most of the protein is composed of disordered regions. Zinc-binding induces structural rearrangement by promoting molten globule state formation.
Induction. enriched in cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients (at protein level).
Similarity. Belongs to the TPPP family.
