The possibility that cerebroside sulfates and myelin proteolipid (PLP) could be simultaneously located in transport vesicles destined to be assembled in myelin was investigated in the brain of 20 day old rats. The brain was homogenized and fractionated according to Burkart et al. (J Biol Chem 257:3151-3156, 1982) to obtain a microsomal fraction that was further subfractionated in a linear sucrose density gradient following the procedure of Siegrist et al. (J Neurochem 33:497-504, 1979) to obtain a vesicular fraction which has been shown to transport cerebroside sulfates (Burkart et al., as above). This fraction was associated with acid hydrolase activity and had a lipid composition different from that of myelin and microsomal fractions. Studied by slab gel electrophoresis, dot blot, and Western blot analysis, using a highly specific anti-PLP antibody, it was found to contain myelin PLP. In view of previous findings of several laboratories including our own, the presence of myelin proteolipid in a vesicular fraction which is related to the transport of cerebroside sulfates gives further support to the hypothesis that the delivery of both constituents to the myelin membrane could be associated.
