Abstract excerpt
A sensitive and reproducible method to measure relative levels of polymerized and soluble tubulin in cells has been developed. This method involves metabolically labeling cells with radioactive amino acids followed by lysis in a microtubule-stabilizing buffer, centrifugation to separate soluble from polymerized tubulin, resolution of the proteins in each fraction by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and...
