The structural characteristics of myelin basic protein (MBP) involved in protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions were investigated. Rabbit MBP could bind calmodulin (CaM) in the presence of Ca2+ to form a complex that remained undissociated in 8 M urea. However, no tight complex formation was

The ability of acidic phospho- and sphingolipids to interact with basic proteins was studied by double diffusion analysis. The phospholipids, tri- and diphosphoinositide, and the sphingolipid, sulfatide, interacted with myelin basic protein as evidenced by precipitin line formation. Of the sialoglyc
Gangliosides inhibit the phosphorylation of both small and large rat myelin basic proteins (SMBP, LMBP) by an endogenous phospholipid-sensitive Ca\*+-dependent protein kinase (C-kinase). Using a rat brain myelin preparation in an in vitro phosphorylation assay system, we determined the inhibition co
