Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro reconstitution of calf brain microtubules: effects of solution variables.
TL;DR: The effects of solution variables on the in vitro reconstitution of calf brain tubulin, purified by the method of Weisenberg et al, resulted in the conclusion that the formation of a tubulin-tubulin contact involves the binding of one additional magnesium ion per tubulin dimer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reconstitution of microtubules from purified calf brain tubulin.
James C. Lee,Serge N. Timasheff +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro reconstitution of calf brain tubulin, purified by the method of Weisenberg et al, was successful in a medium consisting of 10(-2) M sodium phosphate, 10(-4) M GTP, and concentrations of magnesium ions ranging from 0.5 to 16 X 10(-3) M at 37 degrees.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chemical characterization of calf brain microtubule protein subunits
TL;DR: The molecular weight of the tubulin subunits was determined by a variety of techniques, including sedimentation equilibrium and light scattering, whether the measurements were done with or without reducing agents, indicating that all disulfide bonds present are intrachain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction of tubulin and other proteins with structure-stabilizing solvents☆
TL;DR: In this article, a study has been carried out of the interactions with proteins of solvent systems which are commonly used to stabilize proteins in solution or to crystallize proteins out of solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The stabilization of calf-brain microtubule protein by sucrose☆
Ronald P. Frigon,James C. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: The sucrose itself is shown not to interfere with the binding ability and the protein could be stored below 0 °C in the sucrose solution for at least 2 weeks without any significant loss of colchicine-binding activity.
