Nerve , Myelin , and Multiple Sclerosis
Those who investigate the nervous system may do so at a variety of different levels. The student of behavior may spend much time in the observation of behaving animals. The neurophysiologist who is interested in the mechanisms underlying our senses, such as hearing or vision, concentrates on those areas of the brain that are specialized for these particular functions . In this account I would l...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of the Extracellular Domain from P0, the Major Structural Protein of Peripheral Nerve Myelin
P0, the major protein of peripheral nerve myelin, mediates membrane adhesion in the spiral wraps of the myelin sheath. We have determined the crystal structure of the extracellular domain from P0 (P0ex) at 1.9 A resolution. P0ex is folded like a typical immunoglobulin variable-like domain; five residues at the C-terminus are disordered, suggesting a flexible linkage to the membrane. The require...
متن کاملIncorporation of glycoproteins into peripheral nerve myelin
Peripheral nerve myelin contains a dominant low molecular weight glycoprotein called Po. To study the metabolism of this glycoprotein, tritiated fucose was injected into the peripheral nerves of adult mice and developing rats, and the temporal distribution of label was examined by autoradiography and gel electrophoresis. Mice and rat pups, injected with fucose, were sacrificed from 1 h to 98 da...
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...
