    Notes: Abstract: 2′,3′-Cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNP) is an isoprenylated protein enriched in myelin and oligodendrocytes but also present in several other tissues at low levels. CNP binds avidly to membranes and in addition possesses several characteristics of cytoskeletal proteins. The role of isoprenylation in the association of CNP with the cytoskeleton was analyzed by ectopic expression in L cells of epitope-tagged CNP1 and a non-isoprenylated mutant CNP1. Using nonionic detergent extraction, drug-mediated cytoskeletal disruption, and coimmunoprecipitation with an anti-actin antibody, we show that CNP1 is associated with actin-based cytoskeletal elements independently of its isoprenylation status. A control protein, p21c-H-ras, which is also modified by isoprenylation at its carboxyl-terminus, does not bind to cytoskeletal structures as judged by the same criteria. We present a model that accounts for the association of CNP1 with membranes and the cytoskeleton.

    Notes: Bacillus subtilis contains three chromosomally encoded type I signal peptidases (SipS, SipT and SipU), which remove signal peptides from secretory precursor proteins. In the present study the biological function of SipS and the regulation of its synthesis were analysed. Unlike the type I signal peptidase of Escherichia coli, SipS was essential neither for protein secretion nor viability of the cell. However, in the absence of SipS the rate of processing of several preproteins was reduced, and four of the seven major secreted proteins of B. subtilis were hardly detectable in the growth medium. Surprisingly, the processing of Bacillus amyloliquefaciensα-amylase and the secretion of at least two endogenous B. subtilis proteins was improved in the absence of SipS. These findings indicate that the substrate preference of SipS differs from that of SipT and SipU, and that SipS is an important factor determining the efficiency of protein secretion in B. subtilis. SipS is transcribed in a growth phase- and medium-dependent manner. In minimal medium, the growth phase-dependent transcription of sipS is controlled by the DegS–DegU two-component regulatory system, indicating that the expression of sipS is regulated by the same factors that control the expression of most genes for secreted degradative enzymes. Our observations suggest that B. subtilis can modulate its capacity and specificity for protein secretion through the controlled expression of sipS.

    Notes: Abstract: The question of developmental relationships amongst myelin-related membranes in subfractions of myelinating mouse brain (15 days) was investigated by a time-staggered double isotope protocol using [3H]leucine and [14C]leucine. Preliminary results are interpreted and discussed in the context of a mathematical conceptualization of pulse-labeling kinetic analyses of myelin proteins in subcellular membrane compartments. Differences in ratio of the two leucine labels among proteins of myelin-containing subfractions are interpreted as confirming metabolic differences relating to various stages of development rather than precursor-product relationships. The incorporation into myelin of 14K, 17K, and 18.5K basic proteins (MBPs) occurs with relatively short delay times, following their synthesis (less than 5 min), and seems to occur simultaneously into all compartments. The 21.5K MBP and the proteolipid protein, on the other hand, require 10–14 min and 14–20 min, respectively. A scheme is presented to illustrate the probable assignment of subfractions to various myelin “compartments” during myelination, and to serve as a working hypothesis for studies on precursor-product relationships.

    Notes: Abstract: An extensive scheme for the subcellular fractionation of myelinating mouse brain is presented. Several centrifugation procedures for the separation of membranes involved in myelinogenesis are critically appraised, and guidelines for selection of centrifugation conditions are given. Characteristics of subcellular fractions are presented in the form of electron micrographs; also presented are distribution of RNA and protein; electrophoretic profiles of membrane proteins, and verification of the myelin-specific basic proteins, proteolipid protein, and glycoprotein by the immuno-electroblot technique; and the distribution of eight marker enzyme activities. Myelin-related membranes were found to differ both qualitatively and quantitatively in their complement of myelin-specific proteins. These myelin-containing fractions appear to represent different stages of myeli-nation that coexist in developing mouse brain. These results provide the fundamental methodologies and background information for kinetic radioisotope analysis of intracellular events in the assembly of myelin presented in a companion article.

    Notes: Abstract: Recent studies show that IgM monoclonal antibody from patients with IgM paraproteinemia and peripheral neuropathy reacts with a protein component of human PNS myelin and an analogous component or components of human CNS myelin. We have now demonstrated that the antigen for this antibody is a specific glycoprotein component of myelin, referred to as myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG). Human PNS and CNS myelin proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on pore-gradient slabs, and MAG was identified by the immuno-electroblot procedure with rabbit anti-MAG (rat). The identical band(s) were stained by an analogous procedure with patient serum as the first antibody. Human PNS MAG had an apparent molecular weight of 107,000. Human CNS MAG appeared as three bands: 113,000, 107,000, and 92,000. Passage of myelin proteins through a concanavalin A-Sepharose column removed the staining component. Purified patient IgM, added to a lithium diiodosalicylate extract of myelin, immunoprecipitated MAG. This antibody also cross-reacted with MAG from bovine CNS, but not from rabbit, rat, or mouse.

    Notes: Abstract: The alternative splicing of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) mRNA generates two isoforms that harbor distinct potential phosphorylation sites in their cytoplasmic tails. Here we characterize the in vivo phosphorylation of MAG isoforms in NIH 3T3 cells transfected with the cDNAs encoding the two isoforms of MAG. Our results demonstrate that the longer isoform, L-MAG, is phosphorylated constitutively mainly on serine, but also on threonine and tyrosine residues. This phosphorylation is subject to change by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and ammonium vanadate, but not by dibutyryl-cyclic AMP. The shorter isoform, S-MAG, is constitutively phosphorylated only on serine residues. While TPA and dibutyryl-cyclic AMP have no detectable effect, ammonium vanadate induces tyrosine and threonine phosphorylation in S-MAG. 32P labeling of v-sretransformed NIH 3T3 cells that express L-MAG also show that L-MAG is likely to be an in vivo substrate for pp60v-src tyrosine kinase activity. These results demonstrate that both MAG isoforms are phosphorylated in a heterologous cell system and that this phosphorylation is subject to pharmacological manipulation.

    Notes: Abstract: Total cytoplasmic brain RNA was isolated at two different ages from three neurological mutant mice (qk/qk, jp/Y, and shi/shi) and their apparently normal littermates. This RNA was translated in vitro in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG)-related polypeptides were immunoprecipitated from equal amounts of total translation products derived from mRNA of mutant animals, normal litter mates, or control animals. The developmentally regulated synthesis of MAG polypeptides was compared among the mutants and normal animals. mRNA from qk/qk brains synthesized an overabundance of p67MAG (five- to sevenfold) which may be compensation for a decreased synthesis of p72MAG. mRNA from jp/Y brains synthesized less than 10% of normal amounts of both MAG polypep tides. The quantity of MAG synthesized by 15-day shi/shi brain mRNA was slightly decreased compared with normal brain mRNA but the quantity of MAG synthe sized by adult shi/shi brain mRNA was normal. No apparent differences were detected in the sizes of the MAG polypeptides synthesized by any of the mutants studied. The data suggest that the genetic defect in qk/qk mutants directly or indirectly affects the coordinated develop mental regulation of MAG polypeptide synthesis leading to an overabundance of the MAG polypeptide that is normally found in older animals. The jp/Y mutation appears to affect general myelin protein synthesis. Finally, shi/shi mutants may have a delayed synthesis of MAG. The data are discussed in the light of recent observations concerning the synthesis of myelin proteins and their proposed role in myelin assembly.
