  • Title: Identification of water-soluble proteases in myelin preparations.
    Author: Liuzzi GM, Ventola A, Riccio P, Quagliariello E.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1992 Jul 15; 186(1):89-94. PubMed ID: 1378733.
    Abstract:
    Sodium chloride extracts obtained from purified bovine brain myelin were found to contain proteolytic activity capable of degrading isolated myelin basic protein as assessed by SDS gel electrophoresis. Using gels copolymerized with gelatin as substrate, two bands at about 54 and 117-125 KDa, respectively, were detected. Activity corresponding to the 54 KDa band was inhibited by zinc. Data presented in this article suggest that proteolytic activity can be released from the myelin sheath in water-soluble form and recognize MBP as substrate.
