Indirect immunofluorescence analyses using antibodies directed against 6S tubulin [calf brain] have shown an elaborate cytoplasmic microtubule complex (CMTC) in nontransformed cells in culture. The CMTC is strikingly altered in cells that have been transformed spontaneously by viruses or by chemicals. Assembly of microtubules in vitro and in vivo is markedly inhibited in the presence of elevated levels of Ca. Alteration of the surface of normal cells by brief treatment with low concentrations of trypsin initiate a rapid breakdown of cytoplasmic microtubules. A hypothesis is presented relating microtubule assembly and surface membrane modulation suggesting that Ca is the primary modulating signal. Cell lines [mouse, rat] BALB/c3T3, SV3T3, RT, RT-2, LN1-2, LZ2-2, AD3-2, BD5-2, LM(TK)- and RAG were grown in monolayer cultures. CHO [Chinese hamster ovary] lines and cells derived from human skin fibroblasts HSF-CF and HSF and PA-2 were also used.
