Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by neuropathological accumulations of amyloidb(1–42) [Ab(1–42)], a cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Recent studies have highlighted the role of APP in Ab-med-iated toxicity and have implicated the G-protein system; however, the exact mechanisms underlying this pathway are as yet undetermined. | Interactions between the amyloid precursor protein C-terminal domain and G proteins mediate calcium dysregulation and amyloid b toxicity in Alzheimer s disease Gideon M.

Recent studies have highlighted the role of APP in Ab-med-iated toxicity and have implicated the G-protein system however the exact mechanisms underlying this pathway are as yet undetermined. In this context we sought to investigate the role of calcium upregulation following APP-dependent Ab-mediated G-protein activation. Initial studies on the interaction between APP Ab and Go proteins demonstrated that the interaction between APP specifically its C-terminal -YENPTY- region and Go was reduced in the presence of Ab. Cell death and calcium influx in Ab-treated cells were shown to be APP dependent and to involve G-protein activation because these effects were blocked by use of the G-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin. Collectively these results highlight a role for the G-protein system in APP-dependent Ab-induced toxicity and calcium dys-regulation. Analysis of the APP Go interaction in human brain samples from Alzheimer s disease patients at different stages of the disease revealed a decrease in the interaction correlating with disease progression.
