The classic myelin basic protein (MBP) splice isoforms range in nominal molecular mass from 14 to 21.5 kDa, and arise from the gene in the oligodendrocyte lineage (Golli) in maturing oligodendrocytes. The 18.5‐kDa isoform that predominates in adult myelin adheres the cytosolic surfaces of oligodendrocyte membranes together, and forms a two‐dimensional molecular sieve restricting protein diffusion into compact myelin. However, this protein has additional roles including cytoskeletal assembly and membrane extension, binding to SH3‐domains, participation in Fyn‐mediated signaling pathways, sequestration of phosphoinositides, and maintenance of calcium homeostasis. Of the diverse post‐translational modifications of this isoform, phosphorylation is the most dynamic, and modulates 18.5‐kDa MBP's protein‐membrane and protein‐protein interactions, indicative of a rich repertoire of functions. In developing and mature myelin, phosphorylation can result in microdomain or even nuclear targeting of the protein, supporting the conclusion that 18.5‐kDa MBP has significant roles beyond membrane adhesion. The full‐length, early‐developmental 21.5‐kDa splice isoform is predominantly karyophilic due to a non‐traditional P‐Y nuclear localization signal, with effects such as promotion of oligodendrocyte proliferation. We discuss in vitro and recent in vivo evidence for multifunctionality of these classic basic proteins of myelin, and argue for a systematic evaluation of the temporal and spatial distributions of these protein isoforms, and their modified variants, during oligodendrocyte differentiation. 相似文献

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 myelin-like membrane fraction was incubated with [-32P]ATP. The protein kinase endogenous to the myelin-like membrane fraction was mainly of the cyclic AMP independent type. There was very little cyclic AMP dependent or cyclic GMP dependent protein kinase activities in this myelin-like fraction. Although the myelin basic proteins were the only endogenous proteins phosphorylated, protein kinase of the myelin-like membrane was capable of catalyzing the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates, such as histones. 相似文献

In Torpedo, PNS as well as CNS myelines are characterized by clearly separated double intraperiod lines. CNS myelin of Torpedo contains two glycosylated hydrophobic proteins labelled T1 (25,800 Da1) and T2 (29,700 Da1), and two basic proteins BP1 and BP2, migrating like mammalian large basic protein (BP2) and pre-small basic protein (BP1) (Barbarese et al., 1977). PNS myelin of Torpedo carries only BP1 and is characterized by a closely spaced doublet of the glycosylated hydrophobic proteins Con A+ (29,700 Da1) and Con A? (31,000 Da1); the latter does not bind Concanavalin A. These glycosylated proteins (T1, T2, Con A+, Con A?) contain mannose, N-acetylglucosamine and galactose, but lack fucose and sialic acids. They have isoleucine at their amino terminus. They bind anti-rat PNS myelin P0 antibodies but do not react with anti-rat CNS myelin PLP antibodies. Limited proteolyses of isolated proteins suggest sequence homologies between T1 and T2, and possibly between Con A+ and Con A?. The two basic proteins BP1 and BP2 bind antibodies directed against human myelin basic protein. All Torpedo myelin proteins electrofocus in pH regions characteristic of their mammalian counterparts. 相似文献

Hydrophobic Regions in Myelin Proteins Characterized Through Analysis of "Hydropathic"Profiles 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

Computer-generated "hydropathic" profiles were constructed for graphic comparison of the amino acid sequences for P2 protein, 18.5 kilodalton (kDa) myelin basic protein (BP), and myelin proteolipid protein (PLP). Profiles were also obtained for cytochrome b5, a membrane protein known to be capable of reversible association with lipid bilayers and of a size comparable to that of the myelin BPs. Analysis of the PLP sequence produced profiles generally compatible with the suggestions that PLP has three transbilayer and two bilayer intercalating segments. Profiles for P2 and 18.5 kDa BP were found to contain hydrophilic segments separated by relatively short hydrophobic regions. Whereas hydropathic indices in hydrophobic regions of P2, 18.5 kDa BP, and PLP fall in the value ranges recently reported for cores of globular proteins and intrabilayer domains of membrane proteins, hydrophobic sections of P2 and 18.5 kDa BP have hydropathic indices similar to those in the hydrophobic core (transprotein) regions of globular proteins. None of them are comparable to the region of cytochrome b5 known to anchor that protein in its membrane or to the segments of PLP sequence proposed as intrabilayer domains. This comparison suggests that neither BP has structural characteristics compatible with insertion into the hydrocarbon core of the myelin lipid bilayer, a conclusion that is consistent with a recently published study that identified the bilayer penetrating proteins of myelin with a hydrophobic probe. The above findings suggest an enhancement for some details of myelin architecture and a cautious approach to interpreting data for BP intercalation into bilayers. 相似文献

Synaptosomal plasma membranes from mammalian brain contain protein kinase activity which phosphorylates endogenous membrane proteins and is stimulated by cyclic AMP. Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it was shown that at least ten proteins in the synaptosomal plasma membrane fraction could be phosphorylated by endogenous cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase activity. The number of proteins whose phosphorylation was stimulated by cyclic AMP was strongly influenced by the pH and Mg2+ concentration used in the phosphorylation reaction. A complex pattern of cyclic AMP-stimulated protein phosphorylation was obtained only with synaptosomal plasma membranes and a crude microsomal fraction. Mitochondrial and myelin fractions exhibited no cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase activity. Investigation of the distribution of substrates for cyclic AMP-stimulated phosphorylation among various brain regions failed to reveal any regional differences. 相似文献

We isolated the major protein of apparent Mr of 15,000–16,000 from seminal plasma as well as from seminal veiscle secretion of bull and proved by amino acid analysis and tryptic peptide mapping that the two proteins were identical. An antiserum against this major protein was employed to quantitate and identify the major protein in seminal plasma as well as seminal vesicle secretion. The antiserum did not cross-react with proteins from bovine or human plasma or follicular fluid respectively.Cell-free translation of poly(A)RNA from seminal vesicle tissue and immunoprecipitation yielded one major species with apparent Mr of 18,000. Using the anti-major protein antiserum, this major species was specifically immuno absorbed. Cloning and sequencing of a major protein-specific cDNA led to the identification of clone pMP17, encoding a precursor of the major protein of 128 amino acid residues. We proved that the major protein is identical to protein PDC 109 (Eschet al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm.
113:861–867, 1983).The seminal vesicles synthesize major protein in an androgen-dependent fashion. In addition to intraluminal secretion of the vas deferens, ampullary spermatozoa revealed an intense immunoreaction which was restricted to the neck region of the sperm head and the middle piece, while the principal piece of the tail as well as the sperm head were devoid of immunoreactive material. Epididymal epithelium (as well as calf seminal vesicle epithelium) showed no immunoreactivity with major protein antiserum. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that only spermatozoa devoid of a plasma membrane around the middle piece were able to bind the antiserum against major protein. After removal of the plasma membrane from epididymal spermatozoa, binding of major protein to subplasmalemmal binding sites was visualised using gold-labeled MP.Transblotting with gold-labeled MP demonstrated a protein of about 66 kDa which appears to represent the major protein-receptor. Binding of major protein to the receptor (after loss of the plasma membrane in the mid-piece region of the spermatozoa after contact with secretions from seminal vesicles) is interpreted as a phyisological process presumably related to the onset of sperm motility. 相似文献

The P2 protein of bovine root myelin has chemical characteristics which differentiate it from other myelin basic proteins. The tryptic peptide map of the bovine P2 protein is distinctly different from the map of either the rabbit PI protein or the bovine CNS myelin basic protein. The tryptic peptides of the P2 protein show no overlap in either map positions or amino acid content with the peptides of the CNS myelin basic protein. Analysis of the individual peptides in the P2 map accounted for all of the amino acids present in the analysis of the whole protein. The P2 protein has a blocked NH2-terminus, lysine at its COOH-terminus and no hexosamine. CD studies revealed that the P2 protein has a very stable β-structure in aqueous solution at neutral or basic pH and retains much of this structure in acid and in 8 M urea. It is suggested that these structural properties are relevant to the dual role of the P2 protein as a membrane constituent and as an antigen. 相似文献

The localization of proteins in myelin was studied by the use of a non-penetrating penetrating reagent. Tritiated 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-ditritiostilbene disulfonic acid was used to label the isolated myelin membrane. The membrane was labelled, the basic protein and the hydrophobic protein, lipophilin, were isolated. After 10 min of exposure to the reagent, the specific activity of lipophilin was found to be 10 times greater than that of the basic protein. Water shock did not alter the specific activities. However, sonication increased the specific activity of lipophilin but not that of basic protein. When the isolated proteins were labelled with 3H-labelled, 4,4′-diisothiocyano-2,2′-ditritiostilbene disulfonic acid, the specific activity of the basic protein was 10 times that of lipophilin. We concluded that the low specific activity of basic protein isolated from the labelled membrane was due to the inaccessible position of this protein in the membrane bilayer. 相似文献

Myelin Proteomics: Molecular Anatomy of an Insulating Sheath 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fast-transmitting vertebrate axons are electrically insulated with multiple layers of nonconductive plasma membrane of glial
cell origin, termed myelin. The myelin membrane is dominated by lipids, and its protein composition has historically been
viewed to be of very low complexity. In this review, we discuss an updated reference compendium of 342 proteins associated
with central nervous system myelin that represents a valuable resource for analyzing myelin biogenesis and white matter homeostasis.
Cataloging the myelin proteome has been made possible by technical advances in the separation and mass spectrometric detection
of proteins, also referred to as proteomics. This led to the identification of a large number of novel myelin-associated proteins,
many of which represent low abundant components involved in catalytic activities, the cytoskeleton, vesicular trafficking,
or cell adhesion. By mass spectrometry-based quantification, proteolipid protein and myelin basic protein constitute 17% and
8% of total myelin protein, respectively, suggesting that their abundance was previously overestimated. As the biochemical
profile of myelin-associated proteins is highly reproducible, differential proteome analyses can be applied to material isolated
from patients or animal models of myelin-related diseases such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies. 相似文献

The central nervous system of the shiverer mouse is known to be severely deficient in myelin. Animals heterozygous for this autosomal-recessive mutation were crossed, and the myelin proteins were examined in the brains and spinal cords of shiverers and unaffected littermates among the offspring. In the brains and spinal cords of nine of the 14 unaffected littermates examined, the quantities of the myelin basic and proteolipid proteins were lower than normal. Furthermore, in the brains of heterozygotes 33 to ~ 150 days old, the myelin basic and proteolipid proteins were reduced in amount, compared to wild-type controls; the myelin basic protein was also present in subnormal amounts in the spinal cords from heterozygous animals at the ages of 17 to 150 days. More severe reductions in the quantities of the myelin proteins were observed in central nervous system tissue from homozygous shiverer mice, and the quantity of the myelin proteolipid protein in the central nervous system of the shiverer mouse, expressed as a ratio to the control value at each age, underwent a developmental decline. In heterozygotes, as well as shiverers, the peripheral nerves were also deficient in the P1 and Pr proteins, which are the same as the basic proteins in rodent central nervous system myelin. The findings regarding heterozygotes suggest that the defective primary gene product in the shiverer mouse could be the myelin basic protein itself or a protein required for a rate-limiting step in the processing of the myelin basic protein. 相似文献

The basic protein of myelin (called MBP) is an extrinsic protein of the myelin membrane. Its structure and function are still
unknown. MBP has been extensively studied in its water-soluble form, but it is also known in a detergent-soluble form, which
is purified with endogenous myelin lipids and should correspond to the native form of the protein in the membrane. In order
to acquire insight into the structure of MBP, we have carried out circular dichroism (CD) experiments on the protein both
in the lipid-free and in the lipid-bound form. Our data clearly show that lipid-free MBP is mainly disordered with only a
small amount having α-helix and β-sheet motifs. On the other hand, the lipid-bound form of MBP appears to have a consistent amount of ordered secondary structure.
Theoretical predictions, made using different computational methods, substantially confirm the tendency of the protein to
assume an ordered secondary structure in accordance with our CD results.

Polypeptide composition and endogenous phosphorylation were investigated in the subfractions of rat brain myelin isolated by either discontinuous or continuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation of myelin. Similarly, a myelin-like membrane fraction (SN4) was also studied. Observations were made that strongly indicated the presence of a calcium-stimulated protein kinase in a highly purified myelin preparation and which exclusively phosphorylated myelin basic proteins of the membrane preparation. Adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate (cAMP) stimulated kinase on the other hand was found to be considerably enriched in the myelin-like membrane fraction. Although this latter enzyme is also capable of phosphorylating the basic proteins, its effect was at least 5 times weaker compared to the calcium-stimulated myelin protein kinase. Within the gradient subfractions there appeared a close relation between the amount of basic proteins and their calcium-stimulated phosphorylation; a similar relationship, however, was not obtained in the case of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of myelin basic proteins. The former (i.e., Ca2+-stimulated phosphorylation) was found to require a protein factor that functionally resembled calmodulin. The results thus raises an interesting possibility of the presence of calmodulin-like proteins and a calcium-stimulated protein kinase in adult myelin membrane from mammalian brain, both of which have been hitherto unrecognized constituents of myelin membranes. 相似文献

Whole mouse sciatic nerves were split and incubated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and in PBS containing various amounts of trypsin. After 24 hours of exposure to PBS alone there were no changes in the gel electrophoresis pattern of myelin proteins. During the same period of time, trypsin digested major amounts ofboth the main myelin protein (PO) and the two basic proteins of myelin (P1, P2). The basic proteins were undetectable after 24 hours of 1% trypsin digestion while the main myelin protein was not completely digested. The amount of digestion of the myelin proteins was related to the concentration of trypsin and the time of digestion. Myelin proteins were demonstrated by staining with Coomassie blue, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and by special indirect lighting techniques. 相似文献

In the central nervous system, a multilayered membrane layer known as the myelin sheath enwraps axons, and is required for optimal saltatory signal conductance. The sheath develops from membrane processes that extend from the plasma membrane of oligodendrocytes and displays a unique lipid and protein composition. Myelin biogenesis is carefully regulated, and multiple transport pathways involving a variety of endosomal compartments are involved. Here we briefly summarize how the major myelin proteins proteolipid protein and myelin basic protein reach the sheath, and highlight potential mechanisms involved, including the role of myelin specific lipids and cell polarity related transport pathways. 相似文献

New observations on the compact myelin proteome 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Myelin formation and maintenance depends on the establishment of two structurally and biochemically discernible domains: (a)compact myelin, that is multilamellar stacks of plasma membrane sheets; and (b) cytoplasmic channels that border the compact myelin domains, attach them to the cell body and anchor the myelin sheath to the axonal membrane. To identify proteins involved in the organization of these domains we took advantage of the high lipid content of compact myelin to separate it cleanly from other neural membranes and then used reverse-phase HPLC coupled to Electro-Spray Double Mass Spectrometry('MudPIT') to characterize the proteome of this sample. MudPIT allowed us to sidestep the bias of 2D-PAGE against either highly charged or transmembrane proteins. Thus, of 97 proteins that presented at least two, fully tryptic peptides (a stringent threshold), seven were well known myelin markers, including the mayor CNS myelin proteins: proteolipid protein and myelin basic protein, which are not resolvable by 2D-PAGE. Furthermore, we have confirmed and extended the known compact myelin proteome by 22 proteins and confirmed that CNS and PNS myelinated tracts present Sirtuin 2, a tubulin deacetylase, and Septin7, a small GTPase that is likely to be involved in membrane and cytoplasm partitioning. 相似文献

Summary The ability of native and chemically modified myelin basic protein to induce fusion of chicken erythrocytes and to interact with lipids in monolayers at the air-water interface and liposomes was studied. Chemical modifications of myelin basic protein were performed by acetylation and succinylation: the positive charges of the native protein were blocked to an extent of about 90–95%.Cellular aggregation and fusion of erythrocytes into multinucleated cells was induced by the native myelin basic protein. This effect was diminished for both acetylated and succinylated myelin basic protein. Native myelin basic protein penetrated appreciably in sulphatide-containing lipid monolayers while lower penetration occurred in monolayers of neutral lipids. Contrary to this, both chemically modified myelin basic proteins did not show any selectivity to penetrate into interfaces of neutral or negatively charged lipids. The intrinsic fluorescence of the native and chemically modified myelin basic proteins upon interacting with liposomes constituted by dipalmitoylphosphatidycholine, glycosphingolipids, egg phosphatidic acid or dipalmitoylphosphatidyl glycerol was studied. The interaction with liposomes of anionic lipids is accompanied by a blue shift of the maximum of the native protein emission fluorescence spectrum from 346 nm to 335 nm; no shift was observed with liposomes containing neutral lipids. The acetylated and succinylated myelin basic proteins did not show changes of their emission spectra upon interacting with any of the lipids studied. The results obtained in monolayers and the fluorescence shifts indicate a lack of correlation between the ability of the modified proteins to penetrate lipid interfaces and the microenvironment sensed by the tryptophan-containing domain.Abbreviations MBP

Abstract: Incubation of rat brainstem slices with [3H]- mevalonate ([3H]MVA) in the presence of lovastatin resulted in the incorporation of label into three groups of myelin-associated proteins with molecular masses of 47, 21–27, and 8 kDa, as revealed on sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide rod gel electrophoresis. Although the gel patterns of [3H]MVA-derived prenylated proteins were similar, the relative level of 3H incorporated into each protein species differed between myelin and the brainstem homogenate. Immunoprecipitation studies identified the 47-kDa prenylated protein as a 2′-3′-cyclic nucleotide phospho- diesterase, whereas the 8-kDa protein proved to be the γ subunit of membrane-associated guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. The 3H-labeled 21–27-kDa group in myelin corresponds to the molecular mass of the extensive Ras- like family of monomeric GTP-binding proteins known to be prenylated in other tissues. Increase in lovastatin concentration resulted in reduced levels of [3H]MVA-labeled species in myelin and concomitantly increased levels in the cytosol. A cold MVA chase restored to normality the appearance of [3H]MVA-labeled proteins in myelin. Furthermore, a high lovastatin concentration in the brainstem slice incubation mixture altered the appearance of newly synthesized nonprenylated myelin proteins, including proteolipid protein and the 17-kDa subspecies of myelin basic protein. Because other myelin proteins were unaffected by the high lovastatin concentration, restricting the availability of MVA in myelin-forming cells may selectively alter processes required for myelinogenesis. Although the molecular basis for the” different MVA requirements in myelin- forming cells remains undefined, it may involve an alteration in the biological activity of certain proteins that require prenylation to be functionally active, and that are responsible for promoting insertion of specific proteins into the myelin membrane. 相似文献
