Résumé
We report the utility of cevipabulin as a stabilizing agent for microtubules. Cevipabulin-stabilized microtubules were more flexible compared to the microtubules stabilized by paclitaxel, the most commonly used microtubule stabilizing agent. Similar to the paclitaxel-stabilized microtubules, cevipabulin-stabilized microtubules were driven by kinesins in an in vitro gliding assay. The velocity of cevipabulin-stabilized microtubules was significantly higher than that of paclitaxel-stabilized microtubules. These findings will enrich the variety of microtubules with difference in mechanical and dynamic properties and widen their applications in nanotechnology.
