Microtubules containing acetylated alpha-tubulin in mammalian cells in culture.
Open accessAbstract
The subcellular distribution of microtubules containing acetylated alpha-tubulin in mammalian cells in culture was analyzed with 6-11B-1, a monoclonal antibody specific for acetylated alpha-tubulin. Cultures of 3T3, HeLa, and PtK2 cells were grown on coverslips and observed by immunofluorescence microscopy after double-staining by 6-11B-1 and B-5-1-2, a monoclonal antibody specific for all alpha-tubulins. The antibody 6-11B-1 binds to primary cilia, centrioles, mitotic spindles, midbodies, and to subsets of cytoplasmic microtubules in 3T3 and HeLa cells, but not in PtK2 cells. These observations confirm that the acetylation of alpha-tubulin is a modification occurring in different microtubule structures and in a variety of eukaryotic cells. Some features of the acetylation of cytoplasmic microtubules of mammalian cells are also described here. First, acetylated alpha-tubulin is present in microtubules that, under depolymerizing conditions, are more stable than the majority of cytoplasmic microtubules. In addition to the specific microtubule frameworks already mentioned, cytoplasmic microtubules resistant to nocodazole or colchicine, but not cold-resistant microtubules, contain more acetylated alpha-tubulin than the rest of cellular microtubules. Second, the alpha-tubulin in all cytoplasmic microtubules of 3T3 and HeLa cells becomes acetylated in the presence of taxol, a drug that stabilizes microtubules. Third, acetylation and deacetylation of cytoplasmic microtubules are reversible in cells released from exposure to 0 degrees C or antimitotic drugs. Fourth, the epitope recognized by the antibody 6-11B-1 is not absolutely necessary for cell growth and division. This epitope is absent in PtK2 cells. The acetylation of alpha-tubulin could regulate the presence of microtubules in specific intracellular spaces by selective stabilization.

Stable microtubules have a curved appearance.
“A characteristic feature of stable MTs is their curved appearance (Piperno et al., 1987; Friedman et al., 2010; Katrukha et al., 2017).”
From A live-cell marker to visualize the dynamics of stable microtubules throughout the cell cycle (2023) · cites this paper as Piperno et al., 1987
In the Results (Fig. 1), the paper says that some acetylated microtubules in HeLa cells are curved. Its drug-resistance results associate acetylated microtubules with greater stability, but it does not establish curvature as a characteristic feature of stable microtubules generally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
