The beta-tubulin family; The tubulin superfamily includes five distinct families, the alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-, and epsilon-tubulins and a sixth family (zeta-tubulin) which is present only in kinetoplastid protozoa. The alpha- and beta-tubulins are the major components of microtubules, while gamma-tubulin plays a major role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. The delta- and epsilon-tubulins are widespread but unlike the alpha, beta, and gamma-tubulins they are not ubiquitous among eukaryotes. The alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimer is the structural subunit of microtubules. The alpha- and beta-tubulins share 40% amino-acid sequence identity, exist in several isotype forms, and undergo a variety of posttranslational modifications. The structures of alpha- and beta-tubulin are basically identical: each monomer is formed by a core of two beta-sheets surrounded by alpha-helices. The monomer structure is very compact, but can be divided into three regions based on function: the amino-terminal nucleotide-binding region, an intermediate taxol-binding region and the carboxy-terminal region which probably constitutes the binding surface for motor proteins.

Tubulin protein family of FtsZ and CetZ-like; This family includes tubulin alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon, and zeta-tubulins as well as FtsZ and CetZ, all of which are involved in polymer formation. Tubulin is the major component of microtubules, but also exists as a heterodimer and as a curved oligomer. Microtubules exist in all eukaryotic cells and are responsible for many functions, including cellular transport, cell motility, and mitosis. FtsZ forms a ring-shaped septum at the site of bacterial cell division, which is required for constriction of cell membrane and cell envelope to yield two daughter cells. FtsZ can polymerize into tubes, sheets, and rings in vitro and is ubiquitous in eubacteria, archaea, and chloroplasts. A recent study found that CetZ proteins, formerly annotated FtsZ type 2, are not required for cell division, whereas FtsZ proteins play an important role. Instead, CetZ proteins are shown to be involved in controlling archaeal cell shape dynamics. The results from inactivation studies of CetZ proteins in Haloferax volcanii suggest that CetZ1 is essential for normal swimming motility and rod-cell development.

The gamma-tubulin family; Gamma-tubulin is a ubiquitous phylogenetically conserved member of tubulin superfamily. Gamma is a low abundance protein present within the cells in both various types of microtubule-organizing centers and cytoplasmic protein complexes. Gamma-tubulin recruits the alpha/beta-tubulin dimers that form the minus ends of microtubules and is thought to be involved in microtubule nucleation and capping.
