Abstract

Background: Cytosolic carboxypeptidases (CCPs) are a subfamily of enzymes that modify tubulin. Results: Zebrafish CCPs exhibit overlapping expression in developing organs. Knockdown of CCP1 and CCP5 results in similar defects including severe hydrocephalus and axial curvature. Conclusion: Loss of deglutamylating enzymes causes developmental defects in zebrafish. Significance: CCP1 and CCP5 play important roles in zebrafish embryonic development.
