Ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein: cellular control mechanisms and novel modifiers.
Proteolytic cleavage in the ectodomain of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a key regulatory step in the generation of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide and occurs through two different protease activities termed alpha- and beta-secretase. Both proteases compete for APP cleavage, but have opposite effects on Abeta generation. At present, little is known about the cellula...
متن کاملNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein.
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have suggested that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain these findings including increased shedding of the soluble ectodomain of the amyloid precursor protein (sAPP), which functions as a neurotrophic and neuroprotecti...
متن کاملBinding of F-spondin to amyloid- precursor protein: A candidate amyloid- precursor protein ligand that modulates amyloid- precursor protein cleavage
Amyloidprecursor protein (APP), a type I membrane protein, is physiologically processed by or -secretases that cleave APP N-terminal to the transmembrane region. Extracellular -cleavage of APP generates a large secreted N-terminal fragment, and a smaller cellular C-terminal fragment. Subsequent -secretase cleavage in the transmembrane region of the C-terminal fragment induces secretion of small...
متن کاملRegulation of the Proteolytic Processing and Function of Amyloid Precursor Protein by Candidate Ligands
Despite intense interest in the proteolysis of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), how the normal processing and function of this type I receptor-like glycoprotein is regulated remains ill-defined. APP is reported to function in neurodevelopment, including migration of neuronal precursor cells into the cortical plate. In recent years, several candidate ligands for APP, ...
متن کاملCharacterization of CD200 Ectodomain Shedding
We have previously reported the existence of a soluble form of CD200 (sCD200) in human plasma, and found sCD200 to be elevated in the plasma of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients. CLL cells release CD200 at a constitutive level, which could be attenuated partially by ADAM28 silencing. In this study, we further explored mechanisms of CD200 shedding beyond that of ADAM28, and performed b...
