Developmental partitioning of myelin basic protein into membrane microdomains.
Specific membrane microdomains (including lipid rafts) exist in myelin but have not been fully characterized. Myelin basic protein (MBP) maintains the compactness of the myelin sheath and is highly posttranslationally modified. Thus, it has been suggested that MBP might also have other functions, e.g., in signal transduction. Here, the distribution of MBP and its modified forms was studied, spa...
متن کاملSerum and Saliva Myelin Basic Protein as Multiple Sclerosis Biomarker
Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is presented with motor and sensory function loss. It is caused by demyelination and following axonal lesion. As myelin basic protein (MBP) is one of the key elements of the myelin cover, we examined the level of MBP in serum, stimulated, and unstimulated saliva as a suitable biomarker for detecting MS. Methods: A case-control study was performed in 29 health...
متن کاملMyelin basic protein-dependent plasma membrane reorganization in the formation of myelin.
During vertebrate development, oligodendrocytes wrap their plasma membrane around axons to produce myelin, a specialized membrane highly enriched in galactosylceramide (GalC) and cholesterol. Here, we studied the formation of myelin membrane sheets in a neuron-glia co-culture system. We applied different microscopy techniques to visualize lipid packing and dynamics in the oligodendroglial plasm...
متن کاملMyelin basic protein.
The fact that central nerve tissue is encephalitogenic has been known since the observation of a post-injection reaction of some rabies victims to the Pasteur vaccine that contained nerve tissue (Brostoff, 1977). Subsequently the encephalitogenic agent in central nerve tissue was traced to a component of the myelin sheath, and a protein was finally isolated that in the presence of complete Freu...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of myelin basic protein.
Myelin membranes prepared from rat brain possess both the enzyme and substrates to incorporate azP from (ya2P]ATP into membrane protein constituents. Qf the myelin polypeptides, only the two basic proteins were phosphorylated ; and both components appeared to be equally good substrates for endogenous or added protein kinases. The a2P was transferred primarily to serine residues of the basic pro...
