Department of Molecular Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37235 Received November 16, 1983; Revised Manuscript Received July 11, 1984 abstract: The number of moles of guanine nucleotides (denoted GXP), eitherguanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) or guanosine 5/-diphosphate (GDP), bound to a mole of phosphocellulose-purified tubulin after gel filtration into a variety of nucleotide-free buffers has been measured (. B. Croom, JJ Correia, and R. C. Williams, Jr., unpublished results). All buffers we have studied that promote reduction of the number of bound nucleotides to fewer than two per tubulin dimer also eventually cause irreversible loss of activity of the protein. However, in 0.1 1, 4-piperazinediethanesulfonic acid (pH 6.9) and 2 mM dithioerythritol (with no Mg2+), tubulin rapidly releases approximately 0.4 mol of bound nucleotides during two successive gel filtrations requiring less than 0.5 h and regainsthe ability to polymerize when magnesium and GTP are immediately added to the buffer. No change in conformation detectable by circular dichroism or sedimentation velocity accompanies this reversibleprocess.(Upon prolonged incubation in the buffer, however, tubulin undergoes irreversible changes according to apparent first-order kinetics with a half-life of ap-proximately 8 h. These changes include the irreversible release of nucleotide, a loss of the ability to polymerize, and a decrease in molar ellipticity between 210 and 240 nm.) The nucleotide which is reversibly released in this buffer comes from that population which exchanges readily with [3H] GTP in vitro. When tubulin purified byphosphocellulose chromatography is incubated in a Mg2+-containing buffer for 30 min with [3H] GTP at concentrations from 70 µ to 1 mM at temperatures from 0 to 24 C, the differencebetween the total GXP bound and the [3H] GTP that becomes boundby exchange is consistently 1.2±0.1 per tubulin dimer. These observations indicate that phosphocellulose-purifiedTubulin is composed of two types of dimers: one (approximately 80% of the total) which readily exchanges guanine nucleotides at its “exchangeable” site and one (approximately 20% of the total) which exchanges nucleotides poorly. Those dimers that exchange GTP readily in Mg2+-containing buffersappear to be the same dimers that rapidly release bound nucleotide in Mg2+-free buffers. e nature of the interaction between guanine nucleotides (GXP) 1 and tubulin is still not fully understood (Jacobs, 1979; Timasheff & Grisham, 1980). It is well established that two molecules of nucleotide (eitherGDP or GTP) are tightly bound to tubulin that has been isolated in the presence of GTP (Weisenberg et al., 1968; Berry & Shelanski, 1972). The binding sites have been distinguished on the basis of their ability to bind [3H] GTP when incubated in vitro for short intervals. The nonexchangeable site (N site) probably contains GTP that never exchanges for free nucleotide invitro and that can be released from that site only when the protein is dena-tured (Spiegelman et al., 1977). The exchangeable site (E site) contains a molecule of either GDP or GTP which is thought to exchange rapidly with free nucleotide in vitro (Weisenberg et al., 1968). During polymerization of tubulin, GTP at the E site is hydrolyzed to GDP; this hydrolysis lags behind the incorporation of a dimer into a microtubule (Penningroth & Kirschner, 1977; Carlier & Pantaloni, 1981). In order to understand better the role of GTP binding and hydrolysis during the assembly of microtubules, it is helpful first to understand the nature of the binding equilibrium be-tween the nucleotide and the E site of tubulin.
