متن کاملDual-tagged amyloid-β precursor protein reveals distinct transport pathways of its N- and C-terminal fragments.
The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP), a type I transmembrane protein genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease, has a complex biology that includes proteolytic processing into potentially toxic fragments, extensive trafficking and multiple, yet poorly-defined functions. We recently proposed that a significant fraction of APP is proteolytically cleaved in the neuronal soma into N- and C-t...
متن کاملMechanisms of Microglial Activation by Amyloid Precursor Protein and its Proteolytic Fragments
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease (Selkoe, 2005). Histologically, it is characterized by the deposition of extracellular senile plaques composed primarily of beta amyloid (Aβ) peptides and intracellular inclusions, termed neurofibrillary tangles, made up of primarily hyperphosphorylated tau protein (Braak and Braak, 1997a, b; Grundke-Iqbal et al., 1986; Se...
متن کاملLoss of PAFAH1B2 reduces amyloid-β generation by promoting the degradation of amyloid precursor protein C-terminal fragments.
Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In view of the side effects associated with inhibiting the secretases that produce Aβ, new molecular targets are required to provide alternative therapeutic options. We used RNA interference (RNAi) to systematically screen the Drosophila genome to identify genes that modulate Aβ production upon...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Association of Alzheimer’s Disease-Linked Amyloid-β and Amyloid-β Protein Precursor with Synapses
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly viewed as a disease of synapses. Loss of synapses correlates better with cognitive decline than amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the hallmark neuropathological lesions of AD. Soluble forms of amyloid-β (Aβ) have emerged as mediators of synapse dysfunction. Aβ binds to, accumulates, and aggregates in synapses. However, the anatomical and neuro...
