Neuronal overexpression of APPL, the Drosophila homologue of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), disrupts axonal transport
The two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, involve two apparently unrelated proteins, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Tau. Although it is known that aberrant processing of APP is associated with Alzheimer's disease, the definitive role of APP in neurons is not yet clear. Tau regulates microtubule stabilization and assembly in axon...
متن کاملPAT1a modulates intracellular transport and processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), APLP1, and APLP2.
Understanding the intracellular transport of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a major key to elucidate the regulation of APP processing and thus beta-amyloid peptide generation in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. APP and its two paralogues, APLP1 and APLP2 (APLPs), are processed in a very similar manner by the same protease activities. A putative candidate involved in APP transport is...
متن کاملDefective neuromuscular synapses in mice lacking amyloid precursor protein (APP) and APP-Like protein 2.
Biochemical and genetic studies place the amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the center stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Although mutations in the APP gene lead to dominant inheritance of familial AD, the normal function of APP remains elusive. Here, we report that the APP family of proteins plays an essential role in the development of neuromuscular synapses. Mice deficient in A...
متن کاملThe Alzheimer Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and Fe65, an APP-Binding Protein, Regulate Cell Movement
FE65 binds to the Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP), but the function of this interaction has not been identified. Here, we report that APP and FE65 are involved in regulation of cell movement. APP and FE65 colocalize with actin and Mena, an Abl-associated signaling protein thought to regulate actin dynamics, in lamellipodia. APP and FE65 specifically concentrate with beta 1-integrin in...
