Abstract: Sciatic nerves from 9-day-old rat pups were removed, sliced into 0.4-mm sections, and incubated with [3H]fucose or [14C]glycine precursors. The nerve slice system gave nearly linear incorporation of [3H]fucose as a function of time for 3 h, after an initial lag of ˜30 min for homogenate and ˜60 min for myelin. Incorporation of [3H]fucose at constant specific radioactivity was directly proportional to exogenous fucose levels over the range 3.0 × 10−8m to 1.5 × 10−6m. Analysis of labeled proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that greater than 50% of labeled glycoprotein was P0, with no other major constituents. This system was used in fucose-chase experiments to determine that a period of ˜20 min elapses between fucosylation and assembly of P0 into myelin. Cycloheximide inhibition of protein synthesis was used to determine that a period of ˜33 min elapses between protein synthesis and appearance of P0 myelin.
