The cold sensitivity of gamma-tubulin mutants was almost completely suppressed by an alpha-tubulin mutation and partially suppressed by a low concentration of thiabendazole, a microtubule assembly inhibitor.

Furthermore, thiabendazole strongly induced multipolar and asymmetric alpha-tubulin-positive metaphase spindles, characterized, however, by the absence of fragmentation of centrosome material as evaluated by anti-gamma-tubulin antibody staining.

Mutations in a cell-cycle gene NDA2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe have pleiotropic effects on nuclear division, nuclear location, and thiabendazole sensitivity ( Toda et al., 1983).

The alpha 2-disrupted cells had an increased sensitivity to an antimicrotubule drug thiabendazole, and the alpha 1 (cold-sensitive [cs]) alpha 2 (disrupted) cells became not only cs but also temperature sensitive.

The Rt strain was isolated from the field on the basis of thiabendazole resistance.
The Rc strain was derived from the S strain by treatment with cambendazole. cDNAs, derived from the S strain, encoding two isoforms of beta-tubulin (beta 12-16 and beta 8-9), alpha-tubulin and phosphofructokinase (Pfk) were used as probes for Southern hybridization analysis of genomic DNA digested by restriction enzymes.

To obtain a dynamic view of this oscillatory nuclear movement in meiotic prophase, we visualized microtubules and chromosomes in living cells using jellyfish green fluorescent protein fused with alpha-tubulin and a DNA-specific fluorescent dye, Hoechst 33342, respectively.
Reversible inhibition of nuclear movement by an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization, thiabendazole, confirmed the involvement of astral microtubules in oscillatory nuclear movement.

Three BZ-susceptible and three resistant populations from different geographical locations were characterized with respect to the egg-hatch assay with thiabendazole (TBZ), mebendazole (MBZ) binding tests and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) after Southern blotting.
The three resistant populations showed as many fragments with the alpha-tubulin probe as the susceptible populations, but when probed with beta-tubulin only 1 or 2 fragments were visible, but always less than in the susceptible populations.
