Making myelin basic protein -from mRNA transport to localized translation
In the central nervous system (CNS) of most vertebrates, oligodendrocytes enwrap neuronal axons with extensions of their plasma membrane to form the myelin sheath. Several proteins are characteristically found in myelin of which myelin basic protein (MBP) is the second most abundant one after proteolipid protein. The lack of functional MBP in rodents results in a severe hypomyelinated phenotype...
متن کاملMyelin movement
alcium just got a promotion. Findings by Caroppo et al. (page 111) reveal that in addition to its many roles inside the cell, Ca 2 ϩ has a distinct extracellular purpose: it acts via a Ca 2 ϩ receptor (CaR) to regulate the function of gastric epithelial cells. It has been known for some time that extracellular Ca 2 ϩ can be sensed by the CaR. The team noted that a Ca 2 ϩ gradient was generated ...
متن کاملMyelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibodies Spectrum Disorders
Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) is an adhesive molecule responsible for myelin sheath structural integrity and maintenance. Patients with spectrum of inflammatory demyelinating disease particularly in central nervous system are reported to have antibodies against this protein. Diseases such as multiple sclerosis, clinically isolated syndrome, neuro-myelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disor...
متن کاملMyelin-associated glycoprotein demonstrated immunocytochemically in myelin and myelin-forming cells of developing rat.
The unlabeled peroxidase-antiperoxidase method has been used with antiserum against "myelin-associated glycoprotein" to establish the presence of the glycoprotein in myelin and myelin-forming cells of the developing rat nervous system. Myelin-associated glycoprotein is found in oligodendroglial cytoplasm before the beginning of myelination. Staining intensity of oligodendroglia increases during...
متن کاملSynthesis Myelin and Incorporation of Myelin Polypeptides into CNS
The distribution of newly synthesized proteolipid protein (PLP, 23 kdaltons) and myelin basic proteins (MBPs, 14-21.5 kdaltons) was determined in microsomal and myelin fractions prepared from the brainstems oi 10-30 d-old rats sacrificed at different times after an intracranial injection of 3~S-methionine. Labeled MBPs were found in the myelin fraction 2 min after the injection, whereas PLP app...
