Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrocytes from the shiverer mutant mouse are missing most of the myelin basic protein (Mbp) gene. In axon-free cultures, they produce membrane sheets with abnormally assembled microtubule and actin-based structures. This suggests that an Mbp gene product may have an important role in regulating the organization and stability of the wild-type oligodendrocyte cytoskeleton. We now present evidence extending...
