The structure of bovine brain myelin proteolipid and its organization in myelin.
A model, based on amino acid sequence data, is proposed for the organization of the myelin proteolipid in myelin membrane. The model has three distinctive features: three trans-membrane segments that traverse the lipid bilayer, two cis-membrane domains that enter and exit the same side of the membrane, and a highly charged segment resembling myelin basic protein on the cytoplasmic side of the m...
متن کاملIn Vivo Acylation of Rat Brain Myelin Proteolipid Protein*
Examination of brain myelin proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography clearly showed that both proteolipid protein (PLP) and DM-20 were acylated 24 h after the intracerebral injection of 30-day-old rats with C3H]palmitic acid. The radioactivity associated with PLP remained after purification, re-electrophoresis, and fluorography. Most of the radioactivity a...
متن کاملOrganization and structure in central-nerve myelin.
Degeneration of the myelin sheath in areas of the central nervous system is a characteristic feature of multiple sclerosis (Adams, 1977; Davison, 1978). The processes that cause this degradation of myelin during the course of the disease are not yet fully defined though the involvement of invading inflammatory cells is likely (Wisniewski, 1977). Any discussion on how the myelin sheath is attack...
متن کاملCharacterization of proteolipid protein fatty acylesterase from rat brain myelin.
A protein fatty acylesterase activity that catalyzes the removal of fatty acid from exogenous proteolipid protein (PLP) has been demonstrated in isolated rat brain myelin. Optimum enzyme activity for the deacylation of PLP was obtained in 0.5% Triton X-100, 1 mM dithiothreitol at pH 7.0 and at 37 degrees C. Other detergents (octyl beta-D-glucoside, Nonidet P-40, and Tween 20) have little or no ...
متن کاملMyelin basic protein is affected by reduced synthesis of myelin proteolipid protein in the jimpy mouse.
Myelin basic proteins (MBPs) from 6-day-old, 10-day-old, 20-day-old and adult normal mouse brain were compared with those from 20-day-old jimpy (dysmyelinating mutant) mouse brain to determine the effect of reduced levels of proteolipid protein (PLP) on MBPs. Alkaline-urea-gel electrophoresis showed that 6-day-old and 10-day-old normal and jimpy MBPs lacked charge microheterogeneity, since C8 (...
