Structural basis of tubulin detyrosination by VASH2/SVBP heterodimer

The VASH2/SVBP heterodimer catalyzes the detyrosination of the α-tubulin C-terminus. Here the authors provide insights into the tubulin detyrosination mechanism by determining the crystal structures of VASH2/SVBP and VASH2/SVBP in complex with a tubulin tail peptide.
