Abstract excerpt
Chinese hamster ovary cells selected for resistance to paclitaxel have a high incidence of mutations affecting L215, L217, and L228 in the H6/H7 loop region of beta1-tubulin. To determine whether other mutations in this loop are also capable of conferring resistance to drugs that affect microtubule assembly, saturation mutagenesis of the highly conserved P220 codon in beta1-tubulin cDNA was carried out....
