Tubulins from different higher plant species are immunologically nonidentical and bind colchicine differentially.

Abstract:

:We have initiated immunological and drug-binding studies on the tubulins from different higher plant species. Antibodies were raised against electrophoretically separated rose (Rosa sp.) tubulin alpha- and beta-subunits and characterized by immunoblot autoradiographic assays. Each IgG preparation bound to its antigen and cross-reacted differentially with the respective tubulin subunits from an alga, sea urchin, rabbit, and cow. Antigenic determinants were shared more among the beta-subunits than among the alpha-subunits from these organisms. Tubulins were isolated from cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota) and hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-senensis). Immunoautoradiography and quantitation of cross-reactivity on blots showed nonidentity among homologous subunits from rose, carrot, hibiscus, and alga tubulins, with more antigenic differences among alpha-subunits than among beta-subunits. Comparative colchicine-binding assays showed that rose and hibiscus tubulins bound 33% and 65%, respectively, of the colchicine bound by carrot tubulin and that higher plant tubulins bound much less colchicine than bovine brain tubulin under identical conditions.

  • beta 2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit modulates protective responses to stress: A receptor basis for sleep-disordered breathing after nicotine exposure.

By exacerbating sleep-disordered breathing, this disturbance could underpin the well established association between smoking and the increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
