Evidence for direct binding between pp50 and MTs.
(A) Immunoblot analysis using antiserum raised against an EF1a homolog (ABP50) from Dictyostelium. The antiserum reacts monospecifically with pp50 in both the tubulin binding proteins (lane 1) and the tubulin/CaM binding proteins (lane 2).
(B) Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using the anti-ABP50 serum characterized in (A). MT bundles were formed by mixing tubulin/CaM binding protein with taxol-stabilized MTs (as described in Figure 2A). These bundles were fixed, settled onto coated slides, and reacted with the anti-ABP50 serum during processing for indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The fluorescence observed in (B) indicates that pp50 is localized to the MT bundles.
