Abstract excerpt
The heterotrimeric, G protein-coupled receptor-associated G protein, Gα(s), binds tubulin with nanomolar affinity and disrupts microtubules in cells and in vitro. Here we determine that the activated form of Gα(s) binds tubulin with a K(D) of 100 nm, stimulates tubulin GTPase, and promotes microt...
