Abstract excerpt
Cmd 4 is a colcemid resistant beta-tubulin mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells that exhibits hypersensitivity to paclitaxel and temperature sensitivity for growth. The mutant beta-tubulin allele in this cell line encodes a D45Y amino acid substitution that produces colcemid resistance by making microtubules more stable. By selecting revertants of the temperature sensitive and paclitaxel hypersensitive...
