2. Figure 1 Glycylation Status of Tubulins from Viable Mutant Strains
Proteins were extracted from the viable strains described in Table 2 and analyzed by Western blotting with R-polygly or a mixture of α- and β-tubulin antibodies (see Experimental Procedures). The rescued mutants showed a marked decrease in the polyglycylation of β-tubulin and significant increase of the polyglycylation in α-tubulin compared with the wild-type strain. Increased levels of α glycylation and the resulting decreased electrophoretic mobility of α isoforms have also been observed in two dimensional gel analyses (J. Gaertig and Y. Gao, personal communication).
