Abstract

Myelin protein zero (P0, MPZ) is the main cell adhesion molecule in peripheral myelin, the sequence of which is evolutionarily highly conserved. Large myelin protein zero (L-MPZ) is a novel translational readthrough molecule in mammals in a physiological status and is encoded by the P0 mRNA with an extra domain. The sequence similarities in the L-MPZ-specific region are found in humans and frogs but not in fish P0 cDNA. Actual synthesis of L-MPZ has been detected in rat and mouse sciatic nerve but not yet evaluated in frogs and humans. The production mechanism and physiological functions of L-MPZ remain unknown. Additionally, the sequence context around the canonical stop codon is significant for readthrough in viruses and yeast, but the correlation between the sequence around P0 stop codon and L-MPZ synthesis is unclear. Here, we focused on the phylogenetic pathways in L-MPZ synthesis. We have shown that L-MPZ is widely produced from frogs to humans using western blotting against L-MPZ. Mutation analysis of the sequence around the stop codon for L-MPZ synthesis using a mammalian in vitro transcription/translation system revealed that the evolutionarily conserved sequence around P0 stop codon is susceptible to readthrough and i...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
