In the context of the microtubule cytoskeleton, which is critically involved in a wide range of cellular activities, this is particularly striking, as tubulin is one of the most conserved proteins while microtubule dynamic instability is highly temperature sensitive. Here, we leverage the diversity of natural tubulin variants from three closely related frog species that live at different temperatures. We determine the microtubule structure across all three species at between 3.0 and 3.6 Å resolution by cryo-electron microscopy and find small differences at the β-tubulin lateral interactions. Using in vitro reconstitution assays and quantitative biochemistry, we show that tubulin's free energy scales inversely with temperature. The observed weakening of lateral contacts and the low apparent activation energy for tubulin incorporation provide an explanation for the overall stability and higher growth rates of microtubules in cold-adapted frog species. This study thus broadens our conceptual framework for understanding microtubule dynamics and provides insights into how conserved cellular processes are tailored to different ecological niches. |
