Immunoblot analysis with antibodies prepared against highly purified recombinant truncated kinesin-like proteins, KatB(5-249) and KatC(207-754), encoded by the katB and katC genes of Arabidopsis thaliana revealed the presence of a kinesin-like polypeptide, termed KatB/C, in cultured tobacco BY-2 cells. The KatB/C polypeptide cosedimented with microtubules in the presence of a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue and was released from microtubules in the presence of ATP, both of which are characteristics of kinesin proteins. The amount of KatB/C polypeptide in synchronous BY-2 cells increased during M phase of the cell cycle. Microtubule-based structures present in cells at M phase, such as the spindle and phragmoplast, may be the site of action of the KatB/C protein.
用针对由拟南芥katB和katC基因编码的高度纯化的重组截短驱动蛋白样蛋白KatB(5 - 249)和KatC(207 - 754)制备的抗体进行免疫印迹分析,结果显示在培养的烟草BY - 2细胞中存在一种驱动蛋白样多肽,称为KatB/C。在不可水解的ATP类似物存在下,KatB/C多肽与微管共沉降,并在ATP存在下从微管中释放,这两者都是驱动蛋白的特征。同步化的BY - 2细胞中KatB/C多肽的量在细胞周期的M期增加。M期细胞中存在的基于微管的结构,如纺锤体和成膜体,可能是KatB/C蛋白的作用位点。
