Microtubule acetylation of lysine 40 of -tubulin is a hallmark of stable microtubules. This luminal modification is catalyzed by -tubulin acetyltransferase 1 (TAT1) and reversed by histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6). However, acetylation regulation within the microtubule lumen and the influence of lattice architecture on enzymatic activity remain poorly understood. Here, we reconstitute microtubule acetylation in vitro using purified TAT1 and HDAC6 on microtubules assembled with defined lattice conformations. We show that TAT1 overwrites HDAC6 enzymatic activity, but its acetylation efficiency decreases upon microtubule damage. Importantly, TAT1 efficiently acetylates microtubules in expanded lattices and twisted tubulin states, while compacted lattices impede its activity. Our findings reveal that both microtubule integrity and lattice conformation are critical regulators for TAT1 enzymatic activity, suggesting that dynamic lattice transitions modulate the acetylation pattern of microtubules in cells.
