The major nontubulin proteins in purified brain microtubules are high MW species traditionally classified into 2 groups known as microtubule-associated proteins 1 and 2 (MAP 1 and MAP 2). MAP 1 consisted of a complex of polypeptides and the highest MW species.sbd.MAP IA.sbd.was characterized with the use of a monoclonal antibody. Four monoclonal antibodies raised against electrophoretically purified MAP 1B are described. All of the antibodies reacted exclusively with this protein. Together with peptide mapping, these results indicated that MAP 1B was structurally distinct from the other MAP. Another distinctive property of MAP 1B was that most of it remained soluble during microtubule polymerization, resulting in an extreme underestimate of its abundance in the brain. Immunofluorescence microscopy of rat brain sections and cultured rat brain cells indicated that compared to MAP 1A and MAP 2, MAP 1B was particularly priminent in axonal as well as dendritic processes. Apparently, MAP 1B is a major, previously undescribed component of the neuronal cytoskeleton.
