Cleavage of amyloid beta peptide during constitutive processing of its precursor

FS Esch, PS Keim, EC Beattie, RW Blacher, AR Culwell, T Oltersdorf, D McClure, and PJ Ward

Athena Neurosciences, Incorporated, South San Francisco, CA 94080.

The amyloid beta peptide (A beta P) is a small fragment of the much larger, broadly distributed amyloid precursor protein (APP). Abundant A beta P deposition in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease suggests that altered APP processing may represent a key pathogenic event. Direct protein structural analyses showed that constitutive processing in human embryonic kidney 293 cells cleaves APP in the interior of the A beta P, thus preventing A beta P deposition. A deficiency of this processing event may ultimately prove to be the etiological event in Alzheimer's disease that gives rise to senile plaque formation.
