| Abstract | IKP104, a novel antimitotic drug, has two classes of binding sites on bovine brain tubulin with different affinities. IKP104, by itself, enhances the decay of tubulin, but in the presence of colchicine or podophyllotoxin, it stabilizes tubulin instead of opening up the hydrophobic areas [Luduena et al. (1995), Biochemistry 34, 15751–15759], Here, we have dissected these two apparently contradictory effects of IKP104 by cleaving the C-terminal ends of both α and β subunits of tubulin with subtilisin. We have found that the selective removal of the C-terminal ends from both the α and β subunits of αβ tubulin lowers the sulfhydryl titer by approximately 1.5 mol/mol of dimer. Interestingly, IKP104 does not increase either the sulfhydryl liter or the exposure of hydrophobic areas of this subtilisin-treated tubulin (α$_{s}$β$_{s}$). Moreover, IKP104 lowers the sulfhydryl titer of α$_{s}$β$_{s}$ tubulin approximately by 1 mol/mol and appears to inhibit completely the time-dependent decay of α$_{s}$β$_{s}$ tubulin. The cleavage at the C-terminal ends of both α and β modulates the effect of IKP104 on the β subunit, but not on the α subunit. Fluorometric binding data analysis suggests that IKP104 binds to the α$_{s}$β$_{s}$ tubulin only at the high-affinity site; the low-affinity site(s) disappear almost completely. The sulfhydryl titer data for α and β and the fluoromelric data therefore suggest that the interaction of IKP104 at the high-affinity site on tubulin is not regulated by the C-terminal domains of α and β and the effect of the high-affinity site is restricted largely to the α subunit, while the low-affinity-site binding is modulated by the C-terminal domain of β. It also appears that the stabilization and the acceleration of the decay of tubulin are mediated by distinct interactions of IKP104 with its high- and low-affinity sites on tubulin, respectively. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
