Axons in the PNS and CNS are ensheathed by multiple layers of tightly compacted myelin membranes. A series of cytoplasmic channels connect outer and inner margins of PNS, but not CNS, myelin internodes. Membranes of these Schmidt-Lantermann (S-L) incisures contain the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) but not P-0 or proteolipid protein (PLP), the structural proteins of compact PNS (P-0) and CNS (PLP) myelin. We show here that incisures are present in MAG-null and absent from P-0-null PNS internodes. To test the possibility that P-0 regulates incisure formation, we replaced PLP with P-0 in CNS myelin. S-L incisures formed in P-0-CNS myelin internodes. Furthermore, axoplasm ensheathed by 65% of the CNS incisures examined by electron microscopy had focal accumulations of organelles, indicating that these CNS incisures disrupt axonal transport. These data support the hypotheses that P-0 protein is required for and can induce S-L incisures and that P-0-induced CNS incisures can be detrimental to axonal function.
