Disease relevance of Pmp2

  • To investigate the regulation of expression of this myelin protein, a mouse genomic library was screened with a rabbit P2 cDNA (pSN2.2-2), and a single positive phage clone containing a 20-kb insert was obtained [1].
  • In vivo monoclonal antibody treatment with Ox19 (anti-rat CD5) causes disease relapse and terminates P2-induced immunospecific tolerance in experimental allergic neuritis [2].
 

High impact information on Pmp2

  • Kirschner and Ganser, however, using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, reported that P2, as well as P1, is absent from shiverer sciatic nerve [3].
  • Transcription was assayed by hybridization of newly synthesized RNA to cDNA clones coding for glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD), the induced protein of 13K which is shown here to be related to myelin protein P-2, the induced protein of 28K, actin, and two RNAs that are not developmentally regulated [4].
  • We have isolated the mouse gene encoding adipocyte P2, aP2, the differentiation-dependent adipocyte protein homologous to myelin P2 [5].
  • Computer-assisted analyses showed that the 422 protein shares 69% and 64% homology with myelin P2 proteins from rabbit and bovine peripheral nerves, respectively, as well as 23% and 30% homology with fatty-acid binding proteins from rat liver and intestine, respectively [6].
  • Crystalline ALBP has a conformation which is essentially identical to that of intestinal fatty acid binding protein and myelin P2 protein [7].
 

Biological context of Pmp2

  • When the gene structure of fatty acid binding protein (FABP) genes were compared, the P2 gene had the same overall structure as others in the FABP family, suggesting a common ancestral gene for members of this family [1].
  • Primer extension analysis revealed two transcription start sites at +1 and +47, consistent with the presence of two P2 mRNAs, with the larger transcript appearing more abundant [1].
  • To investigate the DNA elements that control the expression of P2, sequences 5' to the coding region were cloned upstream of the cat reporter gene [8].
  • Fluorescence in-situ hybridization identified the murine KLBP gene as the fourth FABP gene on chromosome 3, along with myelin P2, ALBP, and intestinal FABP [9].
  • This protein has 70% and 20-30% amino acid sequence homology to myelin P2 and the fatty acid binding proteins of liver and intestine, respectively [10].
