Abstract excerpt
The homophilic adhesion of the peripheral nervous system myelin protein, Po, holds myelin compact at the extracellular leaflets. Po carries a single immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain that is stabilized by a disulfide bond between Cys21 and Cys98. We showed previously that Po mutated at Cys21 to Ala (C21A Po), unlike wild type Po, when it was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells after transfection, was not...
