The alpha-tubulin mutants were cross-resistant to other microtubule disrupting drugs such as griseofulvin, vinblastine, and colcemid, but were more sensitive to the microtubule-stabilizing agent taxol than the wild-type parental cells.

After treatment with cold, colcemid, or griseofulvin, the remaining stable microtubules are acetylated, but immunoHVEM observations suggest that these fibers might not have been acetylated prior to microtubule disruption.

Amoebal tubulin has been identified as having an alpha-subunit, mol.wt. 54 000, which co-migrates with brain alpha-tubulin and a beta-subunit, mol.wt. 50 000, which co-migrates with Tetrahymena ciliary beta-tubulin.
The mitotic inhibitor griseofulvin (7-chloro-2',4,6-trimethoxy-6'-methylspiro [benzofuran-2 (3H),1'-cyclohex-2' -ene] -3,4'-dione), which binds to brain microtubule-associated proteins and inhibits brain microtubule assembly in vitro, affected co-polymer microtubule protein in a similar way, but to a slightly greater extent.

The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton of N. crassa could be revealed by indirect immunofluorescence with the monoclonal antibody YOL 1/34 directed against yeast alpha-tubulin.
This drug induced multipolar germination at 8 microM, and griseofulvin only at 140 microM.

Parasitol Res. 2003 Apr;89(6):487-94. Epub 2003 Jan 21.

The behavior of microtubular structures during division was followed by immunofluorescence in Trichomonas vaginalis using an anti-alpha-tubulin monoclonal antibody together with nuclear staining by DAPI, allowing us to describe successive mitotic stages.
