Ionic and nucleotide requirements for microtubule polymerization in vitro.

Abstract:

:The ionic and nucleotide requirements for the in vitro polymerization of microtubules from purified brain tubulin have been characterized by viscometry. Protein was purified by successive cycles of a temperature dependent assembly-diassembly scheme. Maximal polymerization occurred at a concentration of 0.1 M Pipes (piperazine-N,N'-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)); increasing ionic strength by addition of NaCl to samples prepared in lower buffer concentrations did not result in an equivalent level of polymerization. Both Na-+ and K-+ inhibited microtubule formation at levels greater than 240 mM, withmaximal assembly occurring at physiological concentrations of 150 mM. Maximal extent of assembly occurred at pH 6.8 and optimal rate at pH 6.6. Inhibition of polymerization was half-maximal at added calcium concentrations of 1.0 mM and magnesium concentrations of 10.0 mM. EGTA (ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)tetraacetic acid), which chelates Ca-2+, had no effect on polymerization over a concentration range of 0.01-10.0 mM. In contrast, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which chelates both Mg-2+ and Ca-2+, inhibited assemble half-maximally at 0.25 mM and totally at 2.0 mM. As determined from experiments using Mg-2+-EDTA buffers, magnesium was required for polymerization. Magnesium promoted the maximal extent of assembly at substoichiometric levels relative to tubulin, but was maximal for both rate and extent at stoichiometric concentrations. Elemental analyses indicated that approximately 1 mol of magnesium was tightly bound/mol of tubulin dimer. Viscosity development was dependent upon hydrolyzable nucleoside triphosphate, and stoichiometric levels of GTP were sufficient for maximal polymerization. The effect of magnesium in increasing the rate of GTP-dependent polymerization suggests that a Mg-2+-GTP complex is the substrate required for a step in assembly.
