In an attempt to determine whether the tightly bound Mg2+found in purified tubulin in associated with the N‐site GTP or the E‐site GDP or GTP, we removed the E‐site nucleotide by several means: (i) alkaline phosphatase treatment; (ii) displacement using excess GMPPCP; and (iii) polymerizing tubulin in the presence of alkaline phosphatase and non‐hydrolyzable analogues. The Mg2+content remained equal to about 1 tubulin under conditions where denaturation did not occur. Moreover, the Mg/GTP ratio always remained equal to 1. These results indicate that the Mg2+is associated with the N‐site GTP.
