Adhesion Process of Biomimetic Myelin Membranes Triggered by Myelin Basic Protein. [PDF]
The myelin sheath—a multi-double-bilayer membrane wrapped around axons—is an essential part of the nervous system which enables rapid signal conduction. Damage of this complex membrane system results in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The process in which myelin is generatedin vivois called myelination.

Enzymic methylation of myelin basic protein in myelin [PDF]
Myelin fractions with different degrees of compaction were isolated from bovine brain, and post-translational methylation of membrane-associated proteins was studied. When the purified myelin-basic-protein-specific protein methylase I and S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-14C]methionine were added exogenously, the most compact myelin fraction exhibited higher ...

Structure-based selection of human metabolite binding P4 pocket of DRB1*15:01 and DRB1*15:03, with implications for multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Binding of small molecules in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptide-binding groove may result in conformational changes of bound peptide and an altered immune response, but previous studies have not considered a potential role for endogenous ...

Lipid and basic protein interaction in myelin [PDF]
1. Purified myelin labelled with [3H]myo-inositol or [1-14C]acetate was incubated with trypsin or acetylated trypsin at 37°C, pH8.0 for 30min. 2. After incubation and centrifugation analysis of the myelin pellet showed marked digestion of basic protein on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Proteolipid and Wolfgram proteins remained unchanged. 3.

Phosphorylation of Myelin Basic Protein
Myelin membranes prepared from rat brain possess both the enzyme and substrates to incorporate 32P from [γ-32P]ATP into membrane protein constituents. Of the myelin polypeptides, only the two basic proteins were phosphorylated; and both components appeared to be equally good substrates for endogenous or added protein kinases.

Methylation-dependent PAD2 upregulation in multiple sclerosis peripheral blood [PDF]
Background: Peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) are two members of PAD family which are over-expressed in the multiple sclerosis (MS) brain.

Emerging immunopharmacological targets in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Inflammatory demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS) is the hallmark of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic debilitating disease that affects more than 2.5 million individuals worldwide. It has been widely accepted, although not proven, that the

A Myelin Proteolipid Protein-LacZ Fusion Protein Is Developmentally Regulated and Targeted to the Myelin Membrane in Transgenic Mice [PDF]
Transgenic mice were generated with a fusion gene carrying a portion of the murine myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, including the first intron, fused to the E. coli LacZ gene.
