 Several cytoskeletal changes are observed in the neurological diseases. Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles, one of the major pathological features of Alzheimer's disease, are composed of paired helical filaments (PHF). PHF has been revealed to he composed of phosphorylated tau, one of the microtubule-associated proteins, and ubiquitin. Ubiquitin binds with the abnormal protein, which becomes a target of ATP-dependent proteolytic system. Since ubiquitin was reported to be a component of PHF, other ubiquitinated proteins in the nervous systems have been reported. Pick body, Lewy body, Glial cytoplasmic inclusion, Rosenthal fiber and abnormal inclusions in the motor neurons of patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are ubiquitinated. Pick body is also composed of tau protein. Lewy bodies contain epitopes of neurofilament and gelsolin which is recently reported to be a component of amyloid-Finnish type. Glial cytoplasmic inclusions are immunostained with anti-α, β tubulin and MAPS. GCI is a specific pathological marker for multiple system atrophy. Thus it is important to isolate GCI and determine the component of GCI by the protein chemical analysis. The component of Rosenthal fiber (RF) is α B-crystallin and the crystallin in RF is ubiquitinated. The skein-like inclusion in motor neuron is also ubiquitinated. However its component has not been determined yet.
