The interaction of myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) was studied using a microtitre well binding assay and the ligand-blot overlay technique. The binding of iodinated PLP to MBP that was immobilized on microtitre wells was saturable and reversible. Its selectivity was investig

A procedure has been developed for the deacylation of the hydrophobic, myelin proteolipid apoprotein using hydroxylamine in an alkaline organic solvent medium. Complete removal of covalently bound fatty acids was obtained after 4 hr of treatment. After deacylation, no changes could be detected in th
Determination of the topographic orientation of proteolipid protein (PLP) within myelin is part of an overall understanding of the functions of PLP and the roles of its multiple domains in diseases that primarily affect central nervous system (CNS) myelin. As part of an analysis of PLP orientation,
To identify putative sequences that direct cell type-specific expression and/or enhance proteolipid protein (PLP) gene expression, glial or nonglial cells were transfected with various PLP-luciferase constructs that collectively span the entire mouse PLP-specific DNA present in a transgene known to
A point mutation in the gene for proteolipid protein (PLP) has been suggested to account for the dysmyelination seen in the jimpy mouse mutant, Despite the absence of PLP, the major integral membrane protein of central nervous system (CNS) myelin, this study shows that there are many scattered myeli
