Abstract

Acetylation level of α-tubulin on K40 is increased in the heart of a diet-induced mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Pharmacological stimulation of α-tubulin K40 acetylation lowers insulin-mediated GLUT4 vesicles translocation to the plasma membrane, reducing glucose transport. Expressing a nonacetylable dominant form of α-tubulin boosts glucose uptake in both insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant cardiomyocytes.
