چکیده

1. A myelin-like membrane fraction was isolated from developing rat brain by a new method. 2. The chemical composition and morphology of the fraction are described. 3. The myelin-like fraction is similar to myelin in characteristic enzyme activity but differs in the absence of basic protein and cerebrosides. No similarity to other subcellular fractions was observed. 4. It is suggested that the myelin-like fraction is a stage in the formation of compact myelin from glial plasma membrane. 5. ;Early' myelin consists of the myelin-like and compact myelin fractions from developing brain.

Criteria for identifying a myelin-like fraction from developing brain.

Multiple criteria must be used to relate a membrane fraction (;myelin-like') to myelin. These reported in this communication are electron microscopy, marker enzymes, sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic patterns and lipid composition.

Investigations on Myelinogenesis in vitro: I. The Occurrence of Endogenous Protein Kinase and Its Role in the Phosphorylation of Myelin Basic Proteins in Membranes" Isolated from Cultures "Myelin-like Cerebral Cell

The presence of a protein kinase capable of phosphorylating endogenous as well as exogenously added myelin basic proteins has been demonstrated in a myelin-like membrane fraction isolated from reaggregating and surface adhering, primary cultures of cells dissociated from embryonic mouse brain. Only the large and small components of myelin basic proteins were found to be phosphorylated when myel...

The Encephalomyelitic Activity of Myelin Isolated by Ultracentrifugation

A relatively simple preparation of guinea pig brain myelin, free of gross contamination by other cellular elements has been described. Electron microscopic evidence of the predominance of membranous (lamellar) forms was used as the criterion of purity of this fraction. The slight mitochondrial contamination of the myelin fraction was confirmed by its low succinic dehydrogenase activity. Quantit...

Exchange of phospholipids between brain membranes in vitro.

1. When unlabelled mitochondria from guinea-pig brain were incubated with a (32)P-labelled microsomal fraction from brain there was a transfer of phospholipid to the mitochondria, which could not be accounted for by an aggregation of microsomes and mitochondria or an exchange with microsomes contaminating the mitochondria. Under similar circumstances there was a transfer of phospholipid from (3...
