Abstract
The relationship between the activity of myelin basic protein (arginine) methyltransferase and myelination in the mouse spinal cord has been examined. The activity of this methylase increases between 8 and 45 days postnatal age and correlates well with other parameters of myelination. A comparison of myelin basic protein methylase with histone methylase activity during development indicates that each is a distinct, specific enzyme activity. Together, these results are considered to establish myelin based protein methylase as a myelination-related enzyme.Entities:
