Expression of ß-amyloid precursor protein-CD3[gamma] chimeras to demonstrate the selective generation of amyloid ß1-40 and amyloid ß1-42 peptides within secretory and endocytic compartmentsSoriano, Salvador ...Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is the main constituent of amyloid fibrils found in senile plaques and cerebral vessels in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is derived by proteolysis from the beta-amyloid ... precursor protein (APP). We have analyzed the amyloidogenic processing of APP using chimeric proteins stably transfected in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The extracellular and transmembrane domains of APP were fused to the cytoplasmic region derived fromthe CD3gamma chain of the T cell antigen receptor (CD3gamma). CD3gamma contains an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention motif (RKK), in the absence of which the protein is targeted to lysosomes without going through the cell surface (Letourneur, F., and Klausner, R.D. (1992) Cell 69, 1143-1157). We used the wild-type sequence of CD3gamma to create an APP chimera predicted to remain in the ER (gammaAPPER). Deletiou of the RKK motif at the C terminus directed the protein directly to the lysosomes (gammaAPPLYS). A third chimera was created by removing both lysosomal targeting signals in addition to RKK (gammaAPPdelta delta). This last construct does not contain known targeting signals and consequently accumulates at the cell surface. We show by immunofluorescence and by biochemical methods that all three APP chimeras localize to the predicted compartments within the cell, thus providing a useful model to study the processing of APP. We found that Abeta1-40 is generated in the early secretory and endocytic pathways, whereas Abeta1-42 is made mainly in the secretory pathway. More importantly, we provide evidence that, unlike in neuronal models, both ER/intermediate compartment- and endocytic-derived Abeta forms can enter the secretable pool. Finally, we directly demonstrate that lysosomal processing is not involved in the generation or secretion of either Abeta1-40 or Abeta1-42.Source: The Journal of biological chemistry. - ISSN 0021-9258 (Letn. 274, št. 45, 1999, str. 32295-32300)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 1999Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 19887833
