متن کاملStudies on the γ-Secretase Complex and Processing of the Alzheimer’s Disease- associated Amyloid Precursor Protein
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes the most common form of dementia. Pathological lesions, such as plaques consisting of the amyloid βpeptide (Aβ), are found in the brains of AD patients. Aβ is produced by sequential cleavages of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by βand γ-secretase. Concomitant with γ-cleavage, another cleavage, termed ε-cleavage...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Effects on Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Hippocampal Cells
Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) are small magnetic particles that widely used in different aspects of biology and medicine in modern life. Fe2O3-NP accumulated in the living cells due to absence of active system to excrete the iron ions so damages cellular organelles by highly reactivity. Method: Herein cytotoxic effects of Fe2O3-NP with 50 nm size were investigated on prima...
متن کاملThe discrepancy between presenilin subcellular localization and γ-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein
We investigated the relationship between PS1 and gamma-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in primary cultures of neurons. Increasing the amount of APP at the cell surface or towards endosomes did not significantly affect PS1-dependent gamma-secretase cleavage, although little PS1 is present in those subcellular compartments. In contrast, almost no gamma-secretase processing...
متن کاملAmyloid precursor protein mutation E682K at the alternative β-secretase cleavage β′-site increases Aβ generation†
BACE1 cleaves the amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the β-cleavage site (Met(671) -Asp(672) ) to initiate the generation of amyloid peptide Aβ. BACE1 is also known to cleave APP at a much less well-characterized β'-cleavage site (Tyr(681) -Glu(682) ). We describe here the identification of a novel APP mutation E682K located at this β'-site in an early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) case. Funct...
