Oxysterol-Binding Protein-1 (OSBP1) Modulates Processing and Trafficking of the Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
BACKGROUND Evidence from biochemical, epidemiological and genetic findings indicates that cholesterol levels are linked to amyloid-β (Aβ) production and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Oxysterols, which are cholesterol-derived ligands of the liver X receptors

ADAM30 Downregulates APP-Linked Defects Through Cathepsin D Activation in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Although several ADAMs (A disintegrin-like and metalloproteases) have been shown to contribute to the amy-loid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, the full spectrum of metalloproteases involved in this metabolism remains to be established. Transcriptomic analyses centred on metalloprotease genes unraveled a 50% decrease in ADAM30 expression that ...

Identification of a stable fragment of the Alzheimer amyloid precursor containing the beta-protein in brain microvessels. [PDF]
Altered proteolysis of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) resulting in release of the approximately 40-residue amyloid beta-protein (A beta P) may be a seminal pathogenetic event in Alzheimer disease. Using region-specific beta APP antibodies, we searched for stable proteolytic intermediates containing the intact A beta P region in brain ...

Development of the First Tritiated Tetrazine: Facilitating Tritiation of Proteins
A tritiated tetrazine based on a phenyl/pyridyl core structure was successfully radiolabeled with NaBT4 by reducing an aldehyde moiety. The synthon was effectively employed to label an antibody in vitro with pretargeted autoradiography. Abstract Tetrazine (Tz)–trans‐cyclooctene (TCO) ligation is an ultra‐fast and highly selective reaction and it is ...

HIV-1 counteracts an innate restriction by amyloid precursor protein resulting in neurodegeneration
HIV infection results in elevated beta-amyloid (Aβ) levels in the brain, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that amyloid precursor protein inhibits virion production and that HIV Gag, counteracting this antiviral function ...

Characterization of the beta amyloid precursor protein-like gene in the central nervous system of the crab Chasmagnathus. Expression during memory consolidation [PDF]
Background: Human β-amyloid, the main component in the neuritic plaques found in patients with Alzheimer's disease, is generated by cleavage of the β-amyloid precursor protein.
