Irradiation of tubulin in the presence of [3H] GTP or [3H] GDP at 254 nm led to the covalent incorporation of nucleotide into the protein. The specific nature of the labeling was shown in the following manner: with tubulin depleted of exchangeable nucleotide, the amount of labeling increased to a plateau value as the [3H] GTP concentration was increased, with saturation being reached at a ratio of approximately 1.5; the same amount of labeling was obtained with GTP/tubulin ratios of 1 and 100;[3H] GMP was not incorporated into the dimer, nor did GMP inhibit the incorporation of [3H] GTP;[3H] ATP was not incorporated;[3H] GTP incorporation did not occur into denatured tubulin or into serum albumin. When [a-32P] GTP was used in the irradiation experiments, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the carboxymethylated protein demonstrated that the incorporated label was associated with the 8 subunit. The radiation treatment did cause changes in the tubulin molecule resulting in a decrease in assembly competence and in sulfhydryl groups, but these effects were minimized when a large excess of GTP was present during irradiation. Labeling of tubulin inthe assembled state was much less than that observed in the freestate. e principal proteincomponent of microtubules (MTs), 1 tubulin, is a dimer of MT100000. The dimer, which consists of nonidentical monomers, a and 8, contains 2 mol of guanine nucleotide, one at a readily exchangeablesite and the other at a nonexchangeable site (Weisenberg et al., 1968). Upon polymerization of tubulin to form MTs, the exchangeable nucleotide is hydrolyzed to GDP (Kobayashi, 1975; Weisenberg et al., 1976), although under some conditions hydrolysis is not coincident with assembly (Carlier & Pantaloni, 1981).
