Facts about Alpha-tubulin N-acetyltransferase 1.
Enters the microtubule through each end and diffuses quickly throughout the lumen of microtubules. Acetylates only long/old microtubules due to its slow acetylation rate as it does not have sufficient time to act on dynamically unstable microtubules before the enzyme is released.

Widely expressed with highest levels in neuronal tissues. In the brain, expressed in the cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus, including the pyramidal layers in CA1 and CA3, as well as the granular cell layers in the lateral blade (suprapyramidal portion) and the medial blade (infrapyramidal portion) of the dentate gyrus. In testis, mainly expressed in the internal cell layers of seminiferous tubules, where spermatocytes and spermatids are located.
PMID: 20829795 by Akella J.S., et al. MEC-17 is an alpha-tubulin acetyltransferase.
PMID: 23720746 by Kim G.W., et al. Mice lacking alpha-tubulin acetyltransferase 1 are viable but display alpha-tubulin acetylation deficiency and dentate gyrus distortion.
