0022-2836/01/051045±13 $35.00/0 We present a re®ned model of the ab-tubulin dimer to 3.5 AÊ resolution. An improved experimental density for the zinc-induced tubulin sheets was obtained by adding 114 electron diffraction patterns at 40-60 tilt and increasing the completeness of structure factor amplitudes to 84.7 %. The re®ned structure was obtained using maximum-likelihood including phase information from experimental images, and simulated annealing Cartesian re®nement to an R-factor of 23.2 and free R-factor of 29.7. The current model includes residues a:2-34, a:61-439, b:2-437, one molecule of GTP, one of GDP, and one of taxol, as well as one magnesium ion at the non-exchangeable nucleotide site, and one putative zinc ion near the M-loop in the a-tubulin subunit. The acidic C-terminal tails could not be traced accurately, neither could the N-terminal loop including residues 35-60 in the a-subunit. There are no major changes in the overall fold of tubulin with respect to the previous structure, testifying to the quality of the initial experimental phases. The overall geometry of the model is, however, greatly improved, and the position of side-chains, especially those of exposed polar/charged groups, is much better de®ned. Three short protein sequence frame shifts were detected with respect to the non-re®ned structure. In light of the new model we discuss details of the tubulin structure such as nucleotide and taxol binding sites, lateral contacts in zinc-sheets, and the signi®cance of the location of highly conserved residues. # 2001 Academic Press
