Diglyceride Kinase Activity of Microtubules: Characterization and Comparison with the Protein Kinase and ATPase Activities Associated with Vinblastine‐Isolated Tubulin of Chick Embryonic Muscles

Vinblastine‐isolated microtubule protein from chick embryonic muscles has an enzymatic activity which catalyzes the formation of phosphatidic acid from diglycerides and ATP. The pH optimum (6.4), sedimentation on sucrose gradients (Mr= 85000), and sensitivity to ions of this diglyceride kinase activ...

In addition to diglyceride kinase and protein kinase activities (0.2 and 0.3 nmol 32P‐transferred × min−1× mg−1 microtubular protein, respectively), microtubules also contain an associated ATPase (2.8 nmol × min−1× mg−1), which requires either Mg2+ or Ca2+, can hydrolyze GTP quite effectively, and sediments with a molecular weight of 95000. The results obtained are discussed in connection with the possible relationships existing among these enzymatic activities, as well as their probable role in microtubular functions.
