A gamma-tubulin-related protein associated with the microtubule arrays of higher plants in a cell cycle-dependent manner

Department of Botany, University of Georgia, Athens 30602.

An antibody specific for a conserved gamma-tubulin peptide identifies a plant polypeptide of 58 kDa. gamma-Tubulin antibody affinity purified from this polypeptide recognizes the centrosome in mammalian cells. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we determined the distribution of this gamma-tubulin-related polypeptide during the complex changes in microtubule arrays that occur throughout the plant cell cycle. We report a punctate association of gamma-tubulin-related polypeptide with the cortical microtubule array and the preprophase band. As cells enter prophase, gamma-tubulin-related polypeptide accumulates around the nucleus and forms a polar cap from which early spindle microtubules radiate. During metaphase and anaphase, gamma-tubulin-related polypeptide preferentially associates with kinetochore fibers and eventually accumulates at the poles. In telophase, localization occurs over the phragmoplast. gamma-Tubulin-related polypeptide appears to be excluded from the plus ends of microtubules at the metaphase plate and cell plate. Its distribution during the cell cycle may be significant in light of differences in the behavior and organization of plant microtubules. The identification of gamma-tubulin-related polypeptide could help characterize microtubule organizing centers in these organisms.
