    Notes: Abstract: Analysis of mouse brain myelin by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that in the high-molecular-weight range it contained, besides the Wolfgram protein doublet, proteins comigrating with actin and with both subunits of tubulin. The occurrence of these α and β subunits was confirmed by peptide mapping in myelin analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. This tubulin did not arise from an artifactual binding of soluble brain tubulin to the myelin fraction: addition of exogenously labeled tubulin to brain homogenates proved that during myelin isolation by the procedure of Norton and Poduslo (1973) the contaminating tubulin was washed out. On the other hand, the distribution of tubulin isoforms in myelin was investigated by isoelectric focusing and compared with the distribution of the 21 isoforms listed for the whole brain soluble tubulin. It was shown that many isoforms were found in myelin (three isoforms for the α subunit and nine for the β subunit), and that some isoforms were represented both in myelin and in soluble tubulin, but in different relative proportions.

    Notes: Microtubular networks are extensively developped in many ciliate species. In several of them, we investigate the occurrence of the post-translational glutamylation of tubulin [Eddé et al., 1990: Science 247:82-85; Eddé et al., 1991: J. Cell. Biochem. 46:134-142] using as a probe for such modified tubulin, the monoclonal antibody GT335 [Wolff et al., 1992: Eur. J. Cell Biol. 59:425-432]. Results obtained in Paramecium strongly suggest that both axonemal and cytoplasmic tubulin are glutamylated. As in the vertebrate brain tubulin so far tested, the GT335 epitope is located at the carboxy-terminal fragment of cytoplasmic tubulin removed by subtilisin treatment. Immunoblotting and immunofluorescence experiments reveal that, unlike tubulin acetylation, glutamylation is not restricted to cold-resistant microtubules. In addition, immunofluorescence studies performed on dividing cells show that glutamylation takes place soon after the polymerization of microtubules.Finally, glutamylated tubulin is also detected in the ciliate species Euplotes, Tetrahymena, and Paraurostyla. Together with results obtained on flagellate species, this suggests that tubulin glutamylation came out early in the course of eukaryotic evolution and has been widely exploited in various cellular strategies. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Differential distribution of glutamylated tubulin during spermatogenesis in mammalian testis (1994)

    Notes: The distribution of glutamylated tubulin has been analyzed in mammalian testis using the specific mAb GT335 by immunoelectron microscopy and immunoblotting. In spermatozoa of various species, immunogold labeling showed the presence of glutamylated tubulin in all of the microtubules of axoneme and centrioles, whereas the microtubule network of the spermatid manchette was unlabeled. In earlier germ cells, centriole was the only microtubule structure to be labeled. A similar distribution was observed using the anti-acetylated tubulin antibody (6-11B-1), confirming previous results of Hermo et al. [Anat. Rec. 229:31-50, 1991]. However, among testicular somatic cells, microtubules of some Sertoli cell branches were not acetylated but glutamylated. 2-D PAGE of mouse and hamster sperm extracts showed a high level of α and β-tubulin heterogeneity, comparable to that found in brain. Immunoblotting with GT335 revealed a large amount of glutamylated tubulin resolved into numerous α as well as β-tubulin isoforms. This suggests that the major testis-specific tubulin isotypes (mα3/7 and mβ3) are also glutamylatable. These results show a subcellular sorting of posttranslationally modified tubulin isoforms in spermatids, glutamylation being associated with the most stable microtubule structures. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
