摘要: Peptide-specific antibody AAB1, raised to the C-terminal 13 amino acids ofArabidopsis thaliana β1 tubulin, identifies a single electrophoretically separable β-tubulin on 2-D-gel Western blots of total protein extracts fromA. seedlings. We show that AAB1 crossreacts with two eight polyglutamylated isoforms present in purifiedNicotiana tabacum tubulin fractionated by high-resolution isoelectric focussing. Immunolocalisation studies using revealed twoN. β1-tubulin are utilised all four plant microtubule arrays (the interphase cortical array, preprophase band, spindle and phragmoplast) indicating there is no apparent subcellular sorting these isotypes.
