IN VITRO SYNTHESIS OF THE MYELIN BASIC PROTEINS IN THE DEVELOPING MOUSE BRAIN: PROPERTIES OF A HOMOGENATE SYSTEM

—An in vitro system using mouse brain homogenates has been developed to study the synthesis of the myelin basic proteins. Incorporation of [3H]leucine into protein in this system did not require additional energy sources. The system was slightly stimulated by glucose and strongly inhibited by puromycin. Myelin basic proteins were isolated from incubation mixtures by conventional techniques of solvent extraction and column chromatography, and finally separated into the large and small components by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in an acetic acid‐urea system. Gels were stained, sliced, dissolved, and counted, and relative rates of incorporation of label into the two basic proteins were determined at several ages. The ratio of radioactivity incorporated into the small (S) and large (L) basic proteins, over a 30 min incubation period, was found to increase from 0.97 at 10 days to 1.59 at 21 days and decline thereafter.
