The epitope for HNK-1 and patient's monoclonal autoantibodies in demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with immunoglobulin M gammopathy is borne by different types of N-linked oligosaccharide structures in human P0 and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG). Fourteen glycopeptide fractions bearing different oligosaccharide structures were obtained from either MAG or P0 glycopeptides by serial lectin affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose, Phaseolus vulgaris erythrophytohemagglutinin-agarose, Pisum sativum agglutinin-agarose, and Phaseolus vulgaris leucophytohemagglutinin-agarose. As shown by dot-TLC plate immunostaining, the same MAG and P0 glycopeptide fractions were recognized by HNK-1 and patient's immunoglobulin M, confirming that these antibodies display similar specificities. The antigenic carbohydrate was present in glycopeptide fractions that either interact with Pisum sativum agglutinin-agarose or were bound by Aleuria aurantia agglutinin-digoxigenin, indicating that these structures contained alpha(1-6)fucose residues. This study demonstrates that the L2/HNK-1 epitope is borne mainly or even exclusively by N-linked oligosaccharide structures alpha(1-6)fucosylated in the core. 相似文献

The single oligosaccharide moiety of the major myelin glycoprotein, P0, resides in an immunoglobulin-like domain that appears to participate in homophilic binding. The studies presented here indicate that the structure of the P0 oligosaccharide from rat nerve changes as a function of Schwann cell age. Examination of 5-day-old nerve revealed that P0 contained predominantly endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H)-resistant, complex-type oligosaccharide. In contrast, P0 from adult rats had mostly endo H-sensitive carbohydrate, indicating the presence of appreciable high-mannose and/or hybrid-type oligosaccharide on the glycoprotein. The endo H-sensitive and -resistant P0 of adult nerve could be readily phosphorylated by protein kinase C, as could the complex-type P0 from 5-day-old nerve. This suggests that the glycoprotein progresses to the plasma membrane and myelin regardless of the type of oligosaccharide chain. Analysis of 35SO4(2-)-labeled P0 showed that the sulfate group was found on both endo H-sensitive and -resistant oligosaccharide. The endo H-sensitive P0 carbohydrate from adult nerve appears to be primarily of the hybrid type, as evidenced by (a) the elution profile of [3H]mannose-labeled P0 glycopeptides from adult nerve during concanavalin A chromatography and (b) the inability of P0 from adult nerve to interact with Galanthus nivalis agglutinin. The observed age-dependent changes of P0 oligosaccharide may modify the binding properties of this myelin glycoprotein. 相似文献

Abstract: P0 glycoprotein, the major protein of PNS myelin, contains approximately 1 mol of covalently bound long-chain fatty acids. To determine the chemical nature of the fatty acid-protein linkage, P0 was labeled in rat sciatic nerve slices with [3 H]palmitic acid and subsequently treated with various reagents. The protein-bound palmi-tate was released by incubation with the reducing agents dithiothreitol and 2-mercaptoethanol, and with 1 M hydrox-ylamine at pH 7.5. In addition, P0 was deacylated by treatment with 10 m M NaBH4 with the concomitant production of [3 H]hexadecanol, indicating that the fatty acid is bound in a thioester linkage. This conclusion was supported further by the fact that deacylation with hydroxylamine generated free thiol groups, which were titrated with [14 C]-iodoacetamide. To identify the cysteine residue involved in the thioester linkage, [14 C]carboxyamidomethylated P0 was digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC. Identification of the radioactive protein fragments by amino acid analysis and amino-terminal peptide sequencing revealed that Cys153 in rat P0 glycoprotein is the acylation site. The acylated cysteine is located at the junction of the putative transmem-brane and cytoplasmic domains. This residue is also present in the P0 glycoprotein of other species, including human, bovine, mice, and chicken. 相似文献

A Phorbol Ester-Sensitive Kinase Catalyzes the Phosphorylation of P0 Glycoprotein in Myelin 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
The proposed structural protein of peripheral nerve myelin, P0, has been shown to have several covalent modifications. In addition to being glycosylated, sulfated, and acylated, P0 is phosphorylated, with the intracellular site of this latter addition being in question. By employing nerve injury models that exhibit different levels of P0 biosynthesis in the absence and presence of myelin assembly, we have examined the cellular location of P0 phosphorylation. It is demonstrated that there is comparable P0 phosphorylation in both normal and crush-injured adult rat sciatic nerves, although the level of biosynthesis of P0 differs between these myelin maintaining and actively myelinating nerve models, respectively. The glycoprotein does not appear to be phosphorylated readily in the transected adult sciatic nerve, a preparation in which P0 biosynthesis is observed but that lacks myelin membrane. These observations suggest that the modification is not associated with the biosynthesis or maturation of P0 in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi, but that it instead occurs after myelin assembly. That P0 phosphorylation occurs in the normal nerve even when translation is inhibited by cycloheximide treatment lends further support to this conclusion. P0 is shown to be phosphorylated on one or more serine residues, with all or most of the phosphate group(s) being labile as evidenced by pulse-chase analysis. Addition of a biologically active phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate or 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, substantially increases the extent of [32P]orthophosphate incorporation into the glycoprotein of normal and crushed nerve but not transected nerve. Biologically inactive 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate has no effect on P0 phosphorylation. Similarly, the addition of the cyclic AMP analog 8-bromo-cyclic AMP causes no appreciable changes in P0 labeling. These findings indicate that the phorbol ester-sensitive enzyme, protein kinase C, may be responsible for the phosphorylation of P0 within the myelin membrane. 相似文献

Abstract: P0, the major protein of the PNS myelin, is palmitoylated at the cytoplasmic Cys153. To gain insights into the mechanism of P0 acylation, the in vitro palmitoylation of both P0 and a synthetic Cys153-containing octapeptide was studied. Incubation of PNS myelin membranes or isolated P0 with [3H]palmitoyl-CoA resulted in specific labeling of this protein, suggesting that the reaction is nonenzymatic. Incorporation of the labeled fatty acid into P0 was not affected by boiling the isolated P0 for 15 min before incubation or by adding sciatic nerve homogenate to the reaction mixture, which confirms the nonezymatic nature of the reaction. After chemical deacylation, P0 was palmitoylated at a higher rate, suggesting that the original site was reacylated. Furthermore, tryptic digestion and peptide mapping showed that the same sites are acylated in vitro as in nerve slices indicating that the reaction has physiological significance. On incubation with [14C]palmitoyl-CoA, the synthetic peptide encompassing the natural P0 acylation site (I150RYCWLRR157) was also spontaneously acylated at the cysteine residue. Thus, the integrity of the protein is not required for the nonenzymatic transacylation reaction. At pH 7.4 and 37°C, peptide palmitoylation followed a second-order reaction (k2 = 246 ± 6 M?1 min?1) and is likely a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution with the peptide thiolate attacking the highly reactive thioester bond in palmitoyl-CoA. The activation energy calculated from the Arrhenius plot is ~2 kcal/mol and much lower than that of enzyme-catalyzed transacylations. Finally, two other P0 peptides (V121PTRYG126 and K109TSQVTL115) as well as various unrelated thiol-containing compounds, including cysteine, glutathione, pressinoic acid (CYFQNC), and crustacean cardioactive peptide (PFCNAFTGC), were not autoacylated. These results indicate that the IRYCWLRR peptide represents a particular structural motif and/or has some chemical features that allow the reaction to occur spontaneously. 相似文献

Regulation of Myelin P0 Glycoprotein Synthesis in Cultured Rat Schwann Cells and Continuous Rat PNS Cell Lines 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

We studied the effects of agents that raise intracellular cyclic AMP on synthesis of myelin components by cultured neonatal rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells and by continuous PNS cell lines derived from the fusion of neonatal rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells with rat RN22 Schwannoma. Treatment with N6,2'-O-dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dibutyryl cyclic AMP) caused a fourfold increase in Schwann cell incorporation of 35SO4 into sulfogalactosylceramide (sulfatide), and elicited a 10- to 20-fold increase in such incorporation by the continuous PNS cell lines; a similar effect on PNS cell line sulfatide radiolabelling was obtained with forskolin. Cultured Schwann cells expressed barely detectable levels of myelin P0 glycoprotein (P0) mRNA and myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA. Treatment of the Schwann cells with axolemmal fragments or with dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not elicit a detectable increase in the levels of these mRNAs. The PNS cell lines constitutively expressed much higher levels of P0 mRNA than did the Schwann cells, and synthesized immunochemically demonstrable P0 glycoprotein, but did not express MBP. Treatment of the PNS cell lines with dibutyryl cyclic AMP markedly reduced expression of P0 mRNA and also diminished immunoreactive P0 glycoprotein. These PNS cell lines should prove useful for further studies of the control of Schwann cell differentiation. 相似文献

The P0 protein in mammalian PNS myelin is known to undergo several posttranslational modifications, such as glycosylation, acylation, sulfation, and phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of purified P0 protein in vitro was studied comparatively using three enzymes, i.e., calcium/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II), and the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (A kinase). The phosphorylation of P0 protein by CaM kinase II was the greatest, followed by that by protein kinase C; phosphorylation by A kinase, however, was much lower. In order to identify phosphorylation sites, P0 protein was phosphorylated with [32P]ATP and each kinase and then digested with lysylendopeptidase. The resulting phosphopeptides were isolated by HPLC. Subsequent amino acid sequence analysis and comparison with the known sequence of P0 protein revealed that Ser181 and Ser204 were strongly phosphorylated by both protein kinase C and CaM kinase II. In addition, Ser214 was also phosphorylated by protein kinase C, but not by CaM kinase II. Because all of these sites are located in the cytoplasmic domain of P0 protein, phosphorylation may be important for maintenance of the major dense line of PNS myelin. 相似文献

Metabolism of Phosphate and Sulfate Groups Modifying the P0 Protein of Peripheral Nervous System Myelin 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

We have examined the metabolism of phosphate and sulfate groups modifying the P0 protein, the major protein of peripheral nervous system myelin, using an in vitro incubation system. Incorporation of [3H]leucine into the P0 peptide backbone decreased approximately 25-fold between 10 and 90 days of age, a finding reflecting a decreased rate of myelin synthesis in the older animals. In contrast, incorporation of [32P]phosphate into P0 decreased only four- to fivefold, a result indicating that phosphate groups are metabolized independently of the peptide backbone. Developmental decreases in the incorporation of sulfate groups into P0 were similar to those seen for leucine, an observation suggesting that this modifying group is metabolized together with the peptide backbone as a single metabolic entity. The time course of labeling of P0 isolated from the starting homogenate and from myelin was also compared. Results are consistent with sulfation of P0 protein taking place before insertion of newly synthesized P0 into myelin. In contrast, incorporation of phosphate into P0 appears to involve both the newly synthesized pool and the preexisting pool of P0 in myelin. Presumably, entry of phosphate into P0 in myelin involves turnover of preexisting phosphate groups and rephosphorylation by myelin protein kinases. Developmental decreases in the specific activity of P0 phosphate groups in myelin are consistent with the presence of a small, rapidly turning-over pool of phosphorylated P0 (perhaps associated with the axon-myelin interface), which does not increase to the same extent as the marked increase in bulk myelin that occurs during development. 相似文献

Immunological Nonidentity of 19K Protein and TP0 in Peripheral Nervous System Myelin 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Peripheral nervous system myelin contains as the major structural protein a glycoprotein known as P0. Another glycoprotein present in smaller amounts, known as the 19K or X protein, has been previously identified as derived from P0 and identical with the main tryptic degradation product of P0 (TP0). Although both P0 and 19K protein incorporated fucose in vitro and stained on polyacrylamide gels with the periodic acid-Schiff stain for carbohydrate, only the P0 blotted to nitrocellulose paper showed immunoreactivity to an antibody to P0, whereas the 19K protein did not. Furthermore, when P0 was hydrolyzed with trypsin or elastase, the main degradation products reacted with P0 on immunoblots, whereas the 19K protein showed no immunoreactivity. From these studies and those of others, it may be concluded that the 19K protein shows some similarities to TP0, but probably has a different structure. P0 and 19K protein do not appear to be related as shown by lack of cross-immunoreactivity. 相似文献

Abstract: The myelin P2 protein, a 14,800-Da cytosolic protein found primarily in peripheral nerves, belongs to a family of fatty acid binding proteins. Although it is similar in amino acid sequence and tertiary structure to fatty acid binding proteins found in the liver, adipocytes, and intestine, its expression is limited to the nervous system. It is detected only in myelin-producing cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems, i.e., the oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, respectively. As part of a program to understand the regulation of expression of this gene, to determine its function in myelin-producing cells, and to study its role in peripheral nerve disease, we have isolated and characterized overlapping human genomic clones encoding the P2 protein. We report here on the partial structure of this gene, and on its localization within the genome. By using a panel of human-hamster somatic cell hybrids and by in situ hybridization, we have mapped the human P2 gene to segment q21 on the long arm of chromosome 8. This result identifies the myelin P2 gene as a candidate gene for autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A. 相似文献

Abstract: Myelin membrane prepared from mouse sciatic nerve possesses both kinase and substrates to incorporate [32 P]PO4 3− from [γ-32 P]ATP into protein constituents. Among these, P0 glycoprotein is the major phosphorylated species. To identify the phosphorylated sites, P0 protein was in vitro phosphorylated, purified, and cleaved by CNBr. Two 32 P-phosphopeptides were isolated by HPLC. The exact localization of the sequences around the phosphorylated sites was determined. The comparison with rat P0 sequence revealed, besides a Lys172 to Arg substitution, that in the first peptide, two serine residues (Ser176 and Ser181 ) were phosphorylated, Ser176 appearing to be modified subsequently to Ser181 . In the second peptide, Ser197 , Ser199 , and Ser204 were phosphorylated. All these serines are clustered in the C-terminal region of P0 protein. This in vitro study served as the basis for the identification of the in vivo phosphorylation sites of the C terminal region of P0 . We found that, in vivo, Ser181 and Ser176 are not phosphorylated, whereas Ser197 , Ser199 , Ser204 , Ser208 , and Ser214 are modified to various extents. Our results strongly suggest that the phosphorylation of these serine residues alters the secondary structure of this domain. Such a structural perturbation could play an important role in myelin compaction at the dense line level. 相似文献

Abstract: It is widely accepted, although never demonstrated, that the formation of a disulfide bond in the majority of immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains stabilizes their final conformation and thus is essential to their functioning as adhesion/recognition molecules. The myelin P0 protein, which has been shown directly to behave as a homophilic adhesion molecule, contains a single Ig-like domain, stabilized by a putative Cys21 -Cys98 disulfide bond. To test if this bond is indeed necessary to the adhesive function of P0 , the nucleotides in the P0 cDNA coding for Cys21 were altered to code for an alanine. The mutated P0 cDNA was transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells, expression of the mutated P0 protein was characterized, and the adhesiveness of Cys21 -mutated P0 -expressing cells and that of cells expressing equivalent surface amounts of the unmutated protein were compared. It was found, as we previously reported, that incubation of a single cell suspension of the unmutated P0 -expressing cells resulted in the rapid formation of large aggregates. In contrast, after a similar incubation the cells expressing the Cys21 -mutated P0 were still mostly single cells, a result indistinguishable from that observed with the control transfected cells. This suggests that the P0 protein, when mutated at Cys21 , does not behave as a homophilic adhesion molecule, which in turn implies that the formation of an Ig domain disulfide bond is essential to the functioning of this molecule. 相似文献

Protein zero (P0), a transmembrane glycoprotein, accounts for over 50% of the total protein in PNS myelin. The extracellular domain of P0 (P0-ED) is similar to the immunoglobulin variable domain, carrying one acceptor sequence for N-linked glycosylation. The x-ray diffraction analysis of PNS myelin has demonstrated reversible transitions that depend on pH and ionic strength, resulting in three distinct structures characterized by widths of about 36 Å, 50 Å (native), and 90 Å between the extracellular surfaces of the membranes. In the current work, we considered the constraints imposed by these x-ray diffraction data on the orientation of P0-ED, and we propose how this immunoglobulin-like domain could be accommodated in the variable widths of the extracellular space between myelin membranes. The modeling made use of the finding that β-strand predictions for P0-ED are virtually superimposable with those of the VH domain of the phosphocholine-binding immunoglobulin M603 of mouse, which has a similar number of residues as P0-ED and a structure that has been solved crystallographically. The dimensions of P0-ED from the space-filling model, developed using PC- based molecular modeling software, were found to be 44 Å× 25 Å× 23 Å. On the assumption that neither the shape nor the orientation of P0-ED changes appreciably, then the different widths at the extracellular apposition would easily accommodate P0-ED from apposed membranes if the molecules were oriented so that the β- strands were approximately perpendicular to the membrane surface. The apposed P0-EDs would fully overlap at the closest apposition of the membranes, partially overlap in the native state, and align end to end in the incompletely swollen state. The P0-ED regions analogous to the complementarity-determining regions of immunoglobulins can account for the recognition of P0-ED from apposed membranes in the incompletely swollen state. Two of the faces of P0-ED that show charge complementarity could account for the homophilic interactions of P0-ED from apposed membranes in the native state. This association can be stabilized further by hydrophobic interactions. The N- linked nonasaccharide after energy minimization fit into a cavity, which was at the base of P0-ED and which was lined with three positively charged residues. Thus, the carbohydrate may help to maintain the orientation of P0 at the membrane surface. Our model shows how the single immunoglobulin-like domain of P0 can account for distinct structural states of myelin membrane packing by homophilic interactions. 相似文献

Several monoclonal antibodies were generated against the major glycoprotein P0 of human peripheral nervous system myelin. Antibodies were selected for their reactivity with P0 in Western blots. The antibodies were of the immunoglobulin G subclass and reacted with the glycopeptidase F-treated P0, indicating that the reactive epitope resides in the protein backbone. In fresh frozen and paraffin-embedded sections of central and peripheral nervous system of rat and human, P0 antibody 592 reacted with myelin sheaths of peripheral, but not central, nervous system. 相似文献

Mice affected by the autosomal dominant Trembler mutation exhibit a severe hypomyelinization of the PNS. Previous biochemical studies have shown that the accumulation of the major PNS myelin proteins, P0 and myelin basic protein (MBP), is strongly diminished in Trembler sciatic nerves during postnatal development. We performed Northern blots which showed that the size of mRNA species for P0 and MBP in normal and mutant mice are indistinguishable. Densitometric analysis of Northern blots showed that, in normal mice, the proportion of P0 mRNA increases up to the 12th day, then decreases slowly. At day 40, the proportion is 60% of the maximal value. In the mutant, the proportion of P0 mRNA increases up to the 12th day and then decreases much faster than in the control. At days 12 and 40, the P0 mRNA proportion measured in Trembler sciatic nerves represents only 40% and 7%, respectively, of the proportion measured in control littermates. The MBP mRNA proportion in the normal mice increases up to the 16th day, and then decreases to attain 45% of the maximum level at day 40. In the Trembler mouse, there is a maximum level at day 12, representing 25% of the normal level, but the MBP mRNA is barely detectable at days 8 or 40. Thus, these data seem to indicate that in the Trembler sciatic nerves, the proportions of P0 and MBP mRNAs are too small to allow the synthesis of normal levels of the corresponding proteins. 相似文献

P0, the most abundant glycoprotein of PNS myelin, is a homophilic and heterophilic adhesion molecule. P0 is known to contain a glycoform population that expresses the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope found on other neural adhesion molecules, and to be functionally implicated centrally in neural cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. This carbohydrate epitope has been characterized previously from glycolipid structures and contains a sulphated glucuronic acid residue. However, the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope has not been characterized in glycoproteins. Because P0 possesses only one glycosylation sequon, the number of P0 glycoforms is equal to the heterogeneity of the glycan species. Here we report that the carbohydrate analysis of L2/HNK-1-reactive P0 showed the presence of anionic structures containing sialic acid and sulphate in various combinations. At least one sulphate residue was present in 80% of the monosaccharide sequences, and 20% contained three sulphates. High-resolution P4 gel chromatography of the desialylated and desulphated oligosaccharides showed substantial heterogeneity of monosaccharide sequences. Sequential exoglycosidase digestions indicated that the majority of the structures were of the hybrid class, although the sulphated structures were found to be endoglycosidase H-resistant. 相似文献

Activated macrophages secrete a variety of neutral proteinases, including plasminogen activator. Since macrophages are implicated in primary demyelination in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in Guillain-Barré syndrome and experimental allergic neuritis, we have investigated the ability of plasmin and of conditioned media from cultured macrophages, in the presence of plasminogen, to degrade the proteins in bovine and rat PNS myelin. The results indicate that (a) the major glycoprotein P0 and the basic P1 and Pr proteins in PNS myelin are extremely sensitive to plasmin, perhaps more so than is the basic protein in CNS myelin; (b) the initial product of degradation of P0 by plasmin has a molecular weight higher than that of the "X" protein; (c) large degradation products of P0 are relatively insensitive to further degradation; and (d) the neuritogenic P2 protein in PNS myelin is quite resistant to the action of plasmin. Results similar to those with plasmin were obtained with conditioned media from macrophages and macrophage-like cell lines together with plasminogen activator, and the degradation of the PNS myelin proteins, Po and P1, under these conditions was inhibited by p-nitrophenylguanidinobenzoate, an inhibitor of plasmin and plasminogen activator. The results suggest that the macrophage plasminogen activator could participate in inflammatory demyelination in the PNS. 相似文献
