For a mechanistic evaluation of the aneugenic effects of BPA and rotenone, fluorescently labelled antibodies were used to visualise microtubules (alpha-tubulin) and MTOCs (gamma-tubulin).

In addition to inhibiting the mitochondrial respiratory chain, toxins known to cause Parkinson's disease (PD), such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and rotenone, also strongly depolymerize microtubules and increase tubulin degradation.
In lysates from the rat brain or transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells, alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin were strongly coimmunoprecipitated with parkin at 4 degrees C in the presence of colchicine, a condition in which tubulin exits as alpha/beta heterodimers.
