Polarization and Myelination in Myelinating Glia
Myelinating glia, oligodendrocytes in central nervous system and Schwann cells in peripheral nervous system, form myelin sheath, a multilayered membrane system around axons enabling salutatory nerve impulse conduction and maintaining axonal integrity. Myelin sheath is a polarized structure localized in the axonal side and therefore is supposed to be formed based on the preceding polarization of...
متن کاملThe Gap Junction Communication Channel
Communication plays an important role in the rapid Connexin Structure progress of modern society. We live in an age when Gap junctions exhibit a hierarchy of assembly. The prininformation is transmitted through many different pathcipal structural component, the membrane protein conways and in many different forms to influence our daily nexin, is organized into the basic unit of structure, the d...

788 with a lipidlprotein molar ratio of 100:1, a value close to that found in most biological membranes [21]. The data show that the calculation of distances between sites within the monomer of a membrane protein of a cross-sectional diameter of 5 nm based only from FET efficiency measurements is largely speculative in most cases in native biological membranes. Because the contribution of FET t...
متن کاملTranscriptional control in myelinating glia: the basic recipe.
Development of myelinating glia and the myelination process both require dramatic changes in the pattern of gene expression. During these processes, cells of the oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell lineages have to alter the transcription rates of numerous genes in a highly coordinated manner. This is made possible by the combined action of a set of transcription factors with preferential expressi...
متن کاملTranscriptional control in myelinating glia: flavors and spices.
Transcriptional control in myelinating glia is often described in terms of a handful of trans-acting proteins with preferential expression in these cells. An equally valid approach is the identification of cis-acting elements in genes, which are specifically transcribed in myelinating glia. Regulatory regions of several myelin genes have been analyzed in transgenic animals, transient transfecti...
