Microtubules were isolated from prophase-blocked oocytes of Xenopus laevis with the use of the anti-tumor drug taxol. In addition to tubulin, 5 microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) were characterized. Among them, 2 high molecular mass proteins (200-300 kDa) are phosphorylated in ovo. The oocyte MAP extract promotes the assembly of rat brain 6 S purified tubulin.
