Abstract

Many proteins suspected of causing neurodegenerative diseases exist in diverse assembly states. For most, it is unclear whether shifts from one state to another would be helpful or harmful. We used mutagenesis to change the assembly state of Alzheimer disease (AD)-associated amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides. In vitro, the "Arctic" mutation (AbetaE22G) accelerated Abeta fibrillization but decreased the abundance of nonfibrillar Abeta assemblies, compared with wild-type Abeta. In human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) transgenic mice carrying mutations adjacent to Abeta that increase Abeta production, addition of the Arctic mutation markedly enhanced the formation of neuritic amyloid plaques but reduced the relative abundance of a specific nonfibrillar Abeta assembly (Abeta*56). Mice overexpressing Arctic mutant or wild-type Abeta had similar behavioral and neuronal deficits when they were matched for Abeta*56 levels but had vastly different plaque loads. Thus, Abeta*56 is a likelier determinant of functional deficits in hAPP mice than fibrillar Abeta deposits. Therapeutic interventions that reduce Abeta fibrils at the cost of augmenting nonfibrillar Abeta assemblies could be harmful.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
