Glutamate- and nucleotide-dependent polymerization of purified calf brain tubulin was used as a model system to study interactions of ribose-modified GDP and GTP analogs with tubulin. Earlier studies (Hamel, E., and Lin, C.M.(1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78,3368-3372) were extended to three additional sets of analogs: the di- and triphosphate derivatives of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine (araGDP and araGTP) and acycloguanosine (9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine) (acycloGDP and acycloGTP), as well as the periodate-oxidized and borohydride-reduced derivatives of GDP and GTP (ox-redGDP and ox-redGTP). Disruption of the ribose ring in ox-redGTP resulted in major loss of activity relative to GTP in supporting tubulin polymerization, although the analog's deficiency may result from an inability to displace GDP from the exchangeable site rather than a direct effect on the polymerization reaction itself. The poor activity of ox-redGTP could be largely reversed if nucleoside diphosphate kinase was added to the reaction mixture. Removal of the 2' and 3' carbons entirely, in the form of acycloGTP, resulted in only minimal loss of activity relative to GTP. AraGTP, on the other hand, was more active than GTP in supporting tubulin polymerization. All three GDP analogs were much less effective than GDP in inhibiting tubulin polymerization, although araGDP was significantly more inhibitory than acycloGDP or ox-redGDP. Relative inhibitory activity of these and additional GDP analogs was the same whether GTP or a GTP analog was used to support tubulin polymerization.
