Conventional approaches to site mapping have so far failed to identify the laulimalide binding site on microtubules. Using mass shift perturbation analysis and data-directed docking, we demonstrate that laulimalide binds to the exterior of the microtubule on beta-tubulin, in a region previously unknown to support ligand binding and well removed from the paclitaxel site. Shift maps for docetaxel and laulimalide are otherwise identical, indicating a common state of microtubule stability induced by occupancy of the distinct sites. The preferred binding mode highlights the penetration of the laulimalide side chain into a deep, narrow cavity through a unique conformation not strongly populated in solution, akin to a striking cobra. This mode supports the development of a pharmacophore model and reveals the importance of the C1-C15 axis in the macrocycle.
