Elevated tripeptidyl-peptidase 1 corrects multiple disease phenotypes in a mouse model of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. [PDF]
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by the loss of the endolysosomal transmembrane protein, CLN3. The main protein component of lysosomal storage material in JNCL is subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase (SCMAS), which is normally degraded within the lysosome by tripeptidyl-peptidase ...

Different molecular mechanisms involved in spontaneous and oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial fragmentation in tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP-1)-deficient fibroblasts. [PDF]
NCLs (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses) form a group of eight inherited autosomal recessive diseases characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent pigments, called ceroids. Recent data suggest that the pathogenesis of NCL is associated with the appearance of fragmented mitochondria with altered functions.

Genetic modulation of apoptotic pathways fails to alter disease course in tripeptidyl-peptidase 1 deficient mice. [PDF]
Late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal, incurable neurodegenerative disease of children caused by the loss of the lysosomal protein tripeptidyl-peptidase 1 (TPP1). Previous studies have suggested that Bcl-2-dependent apoptotic pathways are involved in neuronal cell death in LINCL patients and, as a result, anti-apoptotic ...

Crystal structure and autoactivation pathway of the precursor form of human tripeptidyl-peptidase 1, the enzyme deficient in late infantile ceroid lipofuscinosis. [PDF]
Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a fatal childhood neurological disorder caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal protease tripeptidyl-peptidase 1 (TPP1). TPP1 represents the only known mammalian member of the S53 family of serine proteases, a group characterized by a subtilisin-like fold, a Ser-Glu-Asp catalytic triad, and an acidic pH ...

Systematic discovery of disease-modifying targets by prediction from knowledge graph-based AI model and experimental validation: Parkinson’s disease case [PDF]
The development of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains a critical unmet need. Despite extensive research efforts, no therapy capable of slowing or halting PD progression has been approved.

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Type 2: A Case Series from Argentina
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the CLN2/TPP1 gene, leading to a deficiency in tripeptidyl peptidase 1 activity.
