text: The development of the vertebrate central nervous system is reliant on a complex
cascade of biological processes that include mitotic division, relocation of migrating
neurons, and the extension of dendritic and axonal processes. Each of these cellular
events requires the diverse functional repertoire of the microtubule cytoskeleton
for the generation of forces, assembly of macromolecular complexes and transport
of molecules and organelles. The tubulins are a multi-gene family that encode
for the constituents of microtubules, and have been implicated in a spectrum of
neurological disorders. Evidence is building that different tubulins tune the
functional properties of the microtubule cytoskeleton dependent on the cell type,
developmental profile and subcellular localisation. Here we review of the origins
of the functional specification of the tubulin gene family in the developing brain
at a transcriptional, translational, and post-transcriptional level. We remind
the reader that tubulins are not just loading controls for your average Western
blot.
