The kinetics of [porcine brain] tubulin-colchicine complex formation were reinvestigated using both isotopic labeling and fluorescence techniques. The time course for association is composed of a relatively fast step, which is responsible for most of the reaction, followed by a slower step, which accounted for 5-10% of the bound colchicine. The origin of the slow step is not known. Analysis of the fast step showed that under pseudo-1st-order conditions, rate constants for association, kobsd, increased linearly with both increasing colchicine and tubulin concentration and then deviated from linearity at high concentrations. Plots of (kobsd-k-2)-1 vs. concentration-1 were linear. The simplest mechanism that can explain the data is: .**GRAPHIC**. Kinetic constants were obtained by computer curve fitting of the data. These yield an equilibrium constant for the rapid equilibrium step K1 = 6 .times. 103 M-1;k2 = (2-3) .times. 103 s-1 and k-2 = (5-9) .times. 10-6 s-1. The rate constant for the dissociation of the tubulin-colchicine complex determined by the isotopic labeling method was 5.3 .times. 10-6 s-1. Therefore, k-2 is the rate-limiting step for colchicine dissociation from the tubulin-colchicine complex. The dependency of kobsd on solvent viscosity was determined using sucrose to vary the viscosity. At low colchicine concentrations the apparent 2nd-order rate constant is decreased with increasing viscosity, whereas at high colchicine concentrations the rate dependency on viscosity is significantly reduced. The fluorescence enhancement observed when colchicine binds to tubulin is a consequence of the colchicine-induced conformational change step. Tubulin prepared by cycles of polymerization-depolymerization was separated into 2 MW species, peak 1 containing the high-MW species and peak 2 consisting only of tubulin dimers. The apparent 2nd-order rate constants for association of colchicine to tubulin in both peaks were essentially the same, 1.7 and 1.4 .times. 102 M-1 s-1, respectively. When tubulin was preincubated with colchicine prior to chromatography, bound colchicine was only found in peak 2 as the tubulin dimer.
