Oligodendrocytes Direct Glycosyl Phosphatidylinositol-anchored Proteins to the Myelin Sheath in Glycosphingolipid-rich Complexes

(Received for publication, December 3, 1996)

From the Department of Neurobiology, University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 364, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany

The myelin sheath synthesized by oligodendrocytes insulates central nervous system axons and is a specialized subdomain of the plasma membrane, containing a restricted pattern of proteins and lipids. Myelin is enriched in glycosphingolipids and cholesterol, a lipid environment favored by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, which associate with these lipids in detergent-insoluble complexes in many cell types. Since proteins regulating oligodendroglia-neuron interaction are largely unknown and GPI-anchored proteins are often involved in cell-cell interactions, we examined oligodendrocytes and myelin for their expression of these proteins. Oligodendrocyte precursors and maturing oligodendrocytes express a similar pattern of GPI-anchored proteins, which unlike the majority of oligodendrocyte plasma membrane proteins, accumulate in myelin. To elucidate mechanisms underlying the expression of GPI-anchored proteins in myelin, we analyzed detergent-insoluble complexes from cells and myelin using TX-100 extraction and sucrose density gradients. In precursor cells, the GPI-anchored proteins are not incorporated in detergent-insoluble complexes. In contrast, GPI-anchored proteins from maturing oligodendrocytes and from myelin were isolated as complexes associated with glycosphingolipids and cholesterol. These results show a specific association of GPI-anchored proteins with glycosphingolipids and cholesterol during oligodendrocyte maturation and suggest sorting of these macromolecular complexes to myelin.
