Abstract

A photoactive C-7 derivative of forskolin, [125I]-7-forskolinyl 2-(3-azido-5-hydroxy-4-iodophenoxy)acetate, enhanced GTP-promoted tubulin polymerization, preferentially bound the β-subunit, exhibited competition with the noniodinated version of the probe, and displayed saturation of labeling consistent with the presence of a forskolin binding site or sites on tubulin.
