In enzymology a tubulin-tyrosine ligase (EC 6.3.2.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + detyrosinated alpha-tubulin + L-tyrosine alpha-tubulin + ADP + phosphateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP detyrosinated alpha-tubulin and L-tyrosine whereas its 3 products are alpha-tubulin ADP and phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
