1. Tubulin is not an adenosine-3':5'-monophosphate-dependent (cyclic-AMP-dependent) protein kinase. Both entities have been clearly separated by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. With a tubulin preparation obtained by the polymerization-depolymerization technique protein kinase had a sedimentation coefficient of 8.7 S whereas tubulin sedimented with 6.4 S. After preincubation with both cyclic AMP and histone the kinase dissociated into its catalytic subunit with a sedimentation coefficient of 3.4 S. 2. Tubulin prepared by the polymerization-depolymerization technique was neither phosphorylated in vivo nor in vitro. On the contrary if this preparation was further purified by the Weisenberg's procedure (DEAE-Sephadex batch absorption) before incubation with [gamma-32 P]ATP, phosphorylation occurred. Thus, phosphorylation depended on the method used to purify tubulin i.e. was likely to an an artefact.
