Abstract
In order to determine whether microtubular proteins of flagellar axonemes were phosphorylated, cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were grown in medium containing [32P]orthophosphate for several generations. Only one (alpha subunit) of the two tubulin polypeptides separated by Na dodecyl-SO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis appeared labeled, as detected by autoradiography of the dried gel. 3H- and 32P-labeled alpha tubulin subunit purified by preparative Na dodecyl-SO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Na dodecyl-SO4-hydroxyapatite chromatography contained about 0.2 mol of phosphate per mol of polypeptide. Upon partial acid hydrolysis, radioactivity could be accounted for as serine and threonine phosphate. By altering the conditions of the Na dodecyl-SO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is was possible to resolve the purified alpha-tubulin subunit into five or more components: a major band comprising approximately 65% of the total mass, not phosphorylated, and four or more minor bands comprising together 35% of the mass. Among the minor components at least two were phosphorylated.
