The C-terminus of thea-chain of tubulin is subject to reversible incorporationof tyrosineby tubulin tyrosine ligase and removal by tubulin carboxypeptidase. Thus, microtu-bules rich in either tyrosinated or detyrosinated tubulin can coexist in the cell. Substitution of the terminal tyrosine by 3-nitrotyrosine has been claimed to cause microtubule dys-function and consequent injury of epithelial lung carcinoma A549 cells. Nitrotyrosine is formed in cells by nitration of tyrosine by nitric oxide-derived species | Eur. J.

Substitution of the terminal tyrosine by 3-nitrotyrosine has been claimed to cause microtubule dysfunction and consequent injury of epithelial lung carcinoma A549 cells. Nitrotyrosine is formed in cells by nitration of tyrosine by nitric oxide-derived species. We studied properties of tubulin modified by in vitro nitrotyrosination at the C-terminus of the a-subunit and the consequences for cell functioning. Nitrotyrosinated tubulin was a good substrate of tubulin carboxypeptidase and showed a similar capability to assemble into microtubules in vitro to that of tyrosinated tubulin. Tubulin of C6 cells cultured in F12K medium in the presence of 500 M nitrotyrosine became fully nitrotyrosi-nated. This nitrotyrosination was shown to be reversible. No changes in morphology proliferation or viability were observed during cycles of nitrotyrosination denitrotyrosin-ation and re-nitrotyrosination. Similar results were obtained with CHO COS-7 HeLa NIH-3T3 NIH-3T3 TTL- and A549 cells. C6 and A549 cells were subjected to several passages during 45days or more in the continuous presence of 500 M nitrotyrosine without noticeable alteration of morphology viability or proliferation. The microtubular networks visualized by immunofluorescence with antibodies to nitrotyrosinated and total tubulin were identical. .
