## Abstract The antineoplastic effect of paclitaxel is mainly related to its ability to bind the β subunit of tubulin, thus preventing tubulin chain depolarization and inducing apoptosis. The relevance of the Class I β‐tubulin characteristics have also been confirmed in the clinical setting where m
Non-small cell lung cancers have a high incidence of somatic mutations of the beta-tubulin (class I) gene, suggesting involvement in the acquisition of resistance to taxanes, which exert their effects through binding to beta-tubulin. Since taxanes are often used in the treatment of breast cancer, we
## Abstract Addition of increasing amounts of zinc to a cold microtubule protein solution results in the disappearance of 30 S oligomer found in the absence of that cation and in the appearance of new tubulin oligomers, 90 S and 23 S. When a microtubule protein solution is warmed in the presence of
