Dynein binds microtubules more tightly in ethanol-treated cells

Percent Microtubule Associated
Con EtOH
Dynein 16.7 ± 1.5 100.0 ± 0.0*
p150 25.5 ± 6.1 17.5 ± 2.6

Microtubules were polymerized and pelleted from cytosolic extracts (see “Materials and methods” section) from control or ethanol (EtOH) treated cells. The supernatant and microtubule pellet were immunoblotted for dynein intermediate chain and p150. The percent of pelleted protein was determined by densitometric analysis of immunoreactive bands and values corrected for volume. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM and were determined from at least three independent experiments.
