sAβPPα is a Potent Endogenous Inhibitor of BACE1

Abstract

Proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) by the enzyme BACE1 (BACE) is the initial step in production of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), and as such has been a major target of Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug discovery efforts. Overproduction of Aβ results in neuronal cell death and accumulation of amyloid plaques in AD and in traumatic brain injury, and is also associated with stroke due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Herein we report for the first time that sAβPPα, the product of the cleavage of AβPP by α-secretase, is a potent endogenous direct inhibitor of the BACE enzyme, and that its inhibition is likely by an allosteric mechanism. Furthermore, using small-angle X-ray scattering, we show that sAβPPβ, which is identical to sAβPPα except for a 16-amino acid truncation at the carboxy terminus, adopts a completely different structure than sAβPPα and does not inhibit BACE. Our data thus reveal a novel mechanistic role played by sAβPPα in regulating overproduction of Aβ and restoring neuronal homeostasis and neuroprotection. Identification of sAβPPα as a direct BACE inhibitor may lead to design of new therapeutics targeting pathologies associated with overproduction of Aβ.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • sAPPβ fails to interact with BACE-1 because the 16-amino-acid truncation at the carboxy end imposes significant structural changes compared with sAPPα.

    “sAPPβ, which fails to interact with BACE-1 because the truncation of 16 aminoacids at the carboxy end (sequence between the α- and β-cleavage sites) is sufficient to impose significant structural changes compared to sAPPα”

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.
