β¦ Synopsis
Purified brain microtubule protein is phosphorylated by endogenous protein kinase activities in the presence of [gamma-32P] ATP or [gamma-32P] GTP. Here we show that certain microtubule-associated proteins are phosphorylated differently by GTP or ATP as direct phosphoryl donors, suggesting the presence of distinct kinase activities, with different specificities, associated with microtubule protein.

## Abstract Phosphorylation of tau protein has been suggested as a major mechanism regulating its functions. In assembled brain microtubules, tau is phosphorylated, but additional phosphorylation can be induced in vitro. Supply of excess ATP alone was sufficient to reduce migration of tau on SDS ge
