Cr(III)GTP is shown to promote assembly of microtubules that are indistinguishable from those assembled using MgGTP. The rate of assembly using Cr(III)GTP is faster than the rate of assembly using MgGTP. The action of Cr(III)GTP is not due to dissociation of GTP from Cr(III)GTP. Microtubules assembled using [8-14C]Cr(III)GTP are shown to bind 0.55 mol of14C label per mol of tubulin dimer. This is comparable to [8-14C]GTP binding under identical conditions. The distribution of14C label is shown to be 55% Cr(III)GTP, 30% GDP, and 15% Cr(III)GDP. Microtubules assembled using Cr(III)GTP have marked resistance to calcium depolymerization but are readily depolymerized by exposure to cold. Two possible models for calcium-induced depolymerization are discussed. Neither Cr(III)ATP nor Cr(III)GDP was found to support assembly. Cr(III)ATP was found to inhibit ATP- and UTP-induced assembly but not GTP- or ITP-induced assembly. This is discussed in terms of the nucleoside diphosphokinase postulated to shuttle phosphoryl groups from nucleoside-5′-triphosphates to GDP, thereby supporting assembly indirectly.
