Abstract:
The CNS of the mutant mld has a severe myelin deficit. In contrast, myelination is normal in the PNS. Previous studies showed that myelin basic proteins (MBP) are practically missing in mld CNS and PNS tissues. Using an in vitro system and immunoprecipitation, we present evidence that MBP synthesis is repressed in the PNS and in the CNS of mld mutants.
