Abstract

The rumpshaker mutation of the X‐linked myelin proteolipid protein (PLP1) gene causes spastic paraplegia type 2 or a mild form of Pelizaeus‐Merzbacher disease in man. The identical mutation occurs spontaneously in mice. Both human and murine diseases are associated with dysmyelination. Using the mouse model, we show that the low steady state levels of PLP result from accelerated proteasomal degradation rather than decreased synthesis. The T~1/2~ for degradation of rumpshaker PLP is 11 h compared with 23 h for wild type. A minority of newly synthesized PLP is incorporated into myelin in the correct orientation but at a reduced rate compared with wild type. However, inhibition of proteasomal degradation does not increase the level of PLP incorporated into myelin. As Plp null mice do not have a similar myelin deficiency, it is unlikely that the reduced PLP levels are the main cause of the dysmyelination. Rumpshaker oligodendrocytes also have a reduced level of other myelin proteins, such as MBP, although the mechanisms are not yet defined but are likely to operate at a translational or post‐translational level. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

We report a G→A transition at nucleotide 431 of the proteolipid protein gene (PLP) results in a nonsense codon in a family with an unusual form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD). The mutation, which creates a second AluI restriction site, results in a nonsense mutation in PLP. The clinical pictu
