Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) promote tubulin polymerization, whereas colchicine inhibits this process. In this paper, MAPs have been shown to inhibit colchicine binding to tubulin in a competitive manner. Attempts were made to identify which of the MAPs fraction(s) was responsible; both tau protein (a thermostable molecule with a molecular weight of approximately 70,000) and a high molecular weight fraction (HMW) were able to compete with colchicine. In contrast, Mg2+, which also induces microtubule assembly in vitro, had no effect on colchicine binding to tubulin.
微管相关蛋白(MAPs)促进微管蛋白聚合,而秋水仙碱抑制这一过程。在本文中,已表明MAPs以竞争性方式抑制秋水仙碱与微管蛋白的结合。人们试图确定哪个MAPs组分起作用;tau蛋白(一种分子量约为70,000的热稳定分子)和高分子量组分(HMW)都能够与秋水仙碱竞争。相比之下,同样能在体外诱导微管组装的Mg2+对秋水仙碱与微管蛋白的结合没有影响。
