Evidence 024124b5cc

Interestingly, because the RHDS sequence is contained within the N terminus of Aβ, similar cell adhesion-promoting properties have also been attributed to the Aβ peptide itself.

Evidence dab0434a87

γ-Secretase cleaves at multiple sites within the transmembrane domain of APP, generating Aβ peptides ranging in length from 38 to 43 residues (4).

Evidence e3ac974310

As mentioned above, γ-secretase processing of APP also releases AICD (Fig. 1).

Finally, a recent study reported a surprising twist, viz. that APP in conjunction with TAG1, a molecule found in the outer plasma membrane, and presenilins act to suppress neurogenesis.

Evidence af2c509914

Because, as mentioned above, APPs is constitutively released from cells following α-secretase cleavage, these find- ings indicated that APP has autocrine and paracrine functions in growth regulation.

Evidence 25004bd0e1

The N-terminal heparin-binding domain of APP (res- idues 28–123) upstream from the RERMS sequence also stim- ulates neurite outgrowth and promotes synaptogenesis.

Evidence 922d2952fd

An RHDS motif near the extralumenal por- tion of APP or at the C terminus of APPs lying within the Aβ region appears to promote cell adhesion.

Evidence 3865be1750

Furthermore, APP also regulates the presynaptic expression and activity of the high affinity choline transporter.

Evidence b0ae9c3833

Activation of protein kinase C increases APPs α-secretion by mechanisms involving the formation and release of secretory vesicles from the TGN, thus enhancing APP (and possiblyα-secretase) trafficking to the cell surface.

Evidence b24b1c5e3b

Several zinc metallo proteinases such asTACE/ADAM17, ADAM9, ADAM10 and MDC-9 and the aspartyl protease BACE2 can cleave APP at the α-secretase site, located within the Aβ domain between Lys 16 and Leu 17 , essentially precluding the generation of intact Aβ(1).

Evidence fecf8c04b1

Overexpression of Mint1, Mint2, or Fe65 causes reduction in Aβ generation and deposition in the brains of transgenic mice, strongly suggesting a physiological role for these adaptors in regulating APP processing in the nervous tis- sue (17).

Evidence e716be40da

Moreover, Fe65 stabilizes the highly labile AICD, which may serve as a regulatory step in modulating the physiological func- tion of AICD (see below).

Evidence 0b9e96b1fe

More than 25 mutations in APP have been identified that are causative of the hereditary form of familial AD and a related condition of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Evidence c9351c047e

BACE1 generates the N terminus of Aβ.In addition,BACE1 can also cleave within the Aβ domain between Tyr 10 and Glu 11.

Evidence 135cece2ad

Finally, the type I transmembrane protein SorLA/LR11 (a member of the VPS10p domain receptor fam- ily), which functionally interacts with cytosolic adaptors GGA and PACS-1, attenuates Aβ production by acting as a Golgi/ TGN retention factor (22).
