During peripheral nervous system (PNS) development, Schwann cells partition the larger axons and myelinate them. Both morphologic and biochemical studies of myelination have used rodents as experimental models. Light microscopic images of developing rat sciatic nerve suggest the metabolic drive funneled into myelination (FIG. 1). Friede and Samorajskil and Webster2 quantified the magnitude of rodent PNS myelination. For larger nerve fibers, myelin membranes grow up to 2,000 times more than do other neural membranes, for example, the external Schwann cell plasma membrane and the axolemma.'Whole'sciatic nerves accumulate myelin proteins and'myelin-typical'lipids during development.(See Smith3 and Yao4 for reviews.) The recent cloning of myelin protein genes has opened up possibilities for elucidating the transcriptional and translational regulation of these proteins (see Poduslo and Lemke, this volume). The goal of this presentation is to emphasize that these regulatory events as well as those involved in lipid metabolism occur at discreet sites in myelinating Schwann cell cytoplasm.
