Colchicine, which is known to influence tubulin function, was used to delineate a possible role of tubulin in signal transduction in the rat striatal membranes. Low KmGTPase activity (EC 3.6.1.‐) was assayed in 10 µg membrane protein using [γ‐32P]GTP at 37° in an ATP‐regenerating buffer containing 1 µM unlabeled GTP. At 10 and 100 µM, colchicine inhibited the GTPase activity by 18% and 40%, respectively. Colchicine (100 µM) inhibited the enzymatic activity by 30–40% at all the time points the reaction was monitored. Acetylcholine (ACh) stimulated the low KmGTPase activity in a concentration‐dependent manner, by up to 57%. ACh‐stimulated activity was accepted as reflecting GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by receptor‐coupled transducer G proteins. In the presence of 100 µM colchicine, the ability of ACh to stimulate G protein GTPase activity was inhibited. For example, at 10 µM ACh the enzyme activity was stimulated up to 52%;inthe presence of 100 µM colchicine, 10 µM ACh stimulated the activity by only up to 33%. These results suggest that colchicine disrupts ACh receptor‐G protein coupling as a result of its interaction with tubulin or G protein(s) or both.
