✦ Synopsis


Oligodendrocytes (OLs) synthesize and transport vast amounts of proteins and lipids from the cell body to the morphologically and biochemically distinct domains of the myelin membrane. From our prediction that regulators of vesicular transport should be up-regulated at the time of myelin production, we hypothesized that the upregulated and unidentified small GTPases found by Huber et al. [1994a] may be Rab proteins. We have analyzed the mRNA expression of rabs in OLs, and have detected rabs 10, 11b, 18, 24, 26, and 28 in addition to rabs that were found previously. Our data show that among the Rabs so far detected during differentiation, only Rabs 5a and 8a exhibited up-regulation in addition to the previously published Rab3a (Madison et al. [1999]

The major stages of oligodendrocyte differentiation are defined by the presence or absence of certain myelin-specific proteins. Events leading to the successful processing of these proteins, such as the folding, assembly, and trafficking of these proteins through the biosynthetic pathway, are largel

Insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I and IGF-II, are potent regulators of oligodendrocyte development. Most of the IGF present in vivo is bound to members of a family of six high-affinity IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which can either potentiate or inhibit IGF action, depending on other conditions.

A cDNA library constructed from liver of 2-month estivating female spadefoot toads, Scaphiopus couchii, was differentially screened to reveal genes that were induced or upregulated during estivation. After two rounds of screening a clone was isolated that showed 60% higher expression in liver of est
