ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid segment having a nucleotide sequence coding for oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein (OMgp) which belongs to the CR-LR family of proteins. These molecular weight of the protein is about 120-kd as determined by gel electrophoresis. The protein is capable of being linked to biological membranes through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid intermediate anchor. OMgp is expressed in the central nervous system and is correlated with myelination. This invention also relates to the purified OMgp, which bands at q11.2 of chromosome 17. OMgp maps in the chromosome within 6-kd of a translocation breakpoint t (1;17), which cosegregates with neurofibromatosis in some families. A recombinant vector incorporating the coding sequence for OMgp and a host cell for the vector are disclosed. Other aspects of the invention include disclosed methods for preparing the OMgp protein; the detection of the glycoprotein; as well as nucleic acid segments. Detection methods disclosed include in situ hybridization of the OMgp gene. The invention also relates to kits used to detect the OMgp or the nucleic acid coding for it in samples, for example in clinical samples such as blood. These kits and methods allow identification of persons, tissues or cells, including gametes, carrying the neurofibromatosis gene.
