Major Myelin proteolipid: the 4-alpha-helix topology.

Abstract excerpt

Several conflicting models have been proposed for the membrane arrangement of the major myelin proteolipid (PLP). We have compared features of the sequence of PLP with those of other eukaryotic integral membrane proteins, with the view of identifying the most likely transmembrane topology. A new, simple model is suggested, which features four hydrophobic alpha-helices spanning the whole thickness of the lipid...
