Cross-seeding effects of amyloid β-protein and α-synuclein.
Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) and α-synuclein (αS) are the primary components of amyloid plaques and Lewy bodies (LBs), respectively. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that interactions between Aβ and αS are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and LB diseases. However, the seeding effects of their aggregates on their aggregation pathways are not completely clear. To ...
متن کاملCerebral vascular amyloid seeds drive amyloid β-protein fibril assembly with a distinct anti-parallel structure
Cerebrovascular accumulation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ), a condition known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), is a common pathological feature of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Familial Aβ mutations, such as Dutch-E22Q and Iowa-D23N, can cause severe cerebrovascular accumulation of amyloid that serves as a potent driver of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. The distinctive featur...
متن کاملProteolytic degradation of amyloid β-protein.
The amyloid β-protein (Aβ) is subject to proteolytic degradation by a diverse array of peptidases and proteinases, known collectively as Aβ-degrading proteases (AβDPs). A growing number of AβDPs have been identified, which, under physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions, contribute significantly to the determination of endogenous cerebral Aβ levels. Despite more than a decade of inves...
متن کاملEffects of the amyloid precursor protein Glu693 !Gln ‘Dutch ’ mutation on the production and stability of amyloid β-protein
Hereditary cerebral haemorrhage with amyloidosis, Dutch type (HCHWA-D), is a cerebral amyloidosis characterized by prominent vascular deposits and fatal haemorrhages. The disorder is caused by a point mutation in codon 693 of the gene encoding the amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in a Glu!Gln amino acid substitution at position 22 of the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) region. The pathogenetic...
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...
