A protein which binds to both tubulin and tubulin polymer was isolated from porcine brains. This protein has MW of 35,000 on SDS[sodium dodecyl sulfate]-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (designated as 35 K [kilodalton] protein). The 35 K protein was purified through several steps of purification including ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration column chromatography, microtubule protein-agarose gel affinity column chromatography and phosphocellulose column chromatography. The 35 K protein caused pronounced enhancement of the turbidity increase produced by tubulin polymerization in the presence of DMSO [dimethylsulfoxide], but did not have the ability to initiate polymerization of pure tubulin in the absence of DMSO. The 35 K protein co-sediments with tubulin polymer in a concentration-dependent manner. EM observation revealed the formation of bundles of tubulin polymer. Since the effect of 35 K protein was coupled with tubulin polymerization, 35 K protein did not cause the turbidity increase under conditions where tubulin polymerization was inhibited by Ca2+ or colchicine. The 35 K protein adsorbed on tubulin-Sepharose 4B was eluted by the addition of 2 mM ATP. ATP inhibited the interaction of 35 K protein with tubulin dimer or polymer. The 35 K protein was finally identified as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from properties such as mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cleavage pattern on limited proteolysis, ability to bind to tubulin, and so on.
