Scheinfeld MH, Ghersi E, Laky K, Fowlkes BJ, D'Adamio L. | 01/21/2010 |
Sustained levels of APP and the elevated levels of APLP2, in spite of the reduced mRNA expression, are due to altered proteolytic processing of these proteins. | Accumulation of the amyloid precursor-like protein APLP2 and reduction of APLP1 in retinoic acid-differentiated human neuroblastoma cells upon curcumin-induced neurite retraction. Adlerz L, Beckman M, Holback S, Tehranian R, Cortés Toro V, Iverfeldt K. | 01/21/2010 |
APLP1 and APLP2 and APP are processed similarly to act via the same nuclear target and are regulated by BACE 1 in neurons | Cleavage of amyloid-beta precursor protein and amyloid-beta precursor-like protein by BACE 1. Li Q, Südhof TC. | 01/21/2010 |
APLP-1 and APLP-2 are processed by alpha- and gamma-secretase-like cleavages, and their intracellular domains can be released by cleavage at epsilon-sites. APLP-2 processing appears to be the most elaborate and to involve alternative cleavage sites. | The proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein gene family members APLP-1 and APLP-2 involves alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and epsilon-like cleavages: modulation of APLP-1 processing by n-glycosylation.
