Fluorogenic (FRET) substrate for pro-memapsin-2 containing the β-secretase site of the Swedish mutation of APP, SEVNLDAEF.

This fluorescent (FRET) peptide substrate contains the wild-type amyloid precursor protein (APP) β-secretase cleavage site. Mca-SEVKMDAEFRK(Dnp)RR- amide has been used for assaying β-secretase-like activity of thimet oligopeptidase (TOP, EC 3.4.24.15). The results suggested that TOP is a potential β-secretase candidate and is involved in the processing of APP in vivo. See also L-1905.

Intramolecularly quenched fluorescent, presenilin-dependent substrate for assaying γ-secretase activity. The FRET substrate has been used for partial purification and characterization of γ-secretase from post-mortem human brain.

This peptide substrate corresponds to the 'Swedish' Lys-Met/Asn-Leu (K670N/M671L) mutation of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) β-secretase cleavage site. It has been used for assaying β-secretase activity.

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) β-secretase from human brain cleaves full-length APP at the amino terminus of the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) sequence, thus leading to the generation and extracellular release of β-cleaved soluble APP and a corresponding cell-associated carboxy-terminal fragment. The subsequent cleavage of the C-terminal fragment by γ-secretase(s) leads to the formation of Aβ. This new peptide represents a potent substrate analog inhibitor of APP β-secretase with IC?? = 30 nM.

A mutation very close to the β-secretase cleavage site of APP. The Icelandic mutation A2T of Aβ42 turned out to be less pathogenic than the native sequence. The precursor APP A673T was the first APP variant discovered in humans reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. A2T as well affects γ-secretase cleavage, the mutant was an inefficient substrate in a cell-based assay of the enzyme.

A mutation very close to the β-secretase cleavage site of APP (A673V). Contrary to the protective Icelandic mutation A2T, the recessive A2V mutation may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Cantu et al. observed that APP A673V is associated with the early onset of AD-type dementia in homozygous individuals, whereas it has a protective effect in the heterozygous state.

Intramolecularly quenched fluorescent substrate containing the ortho-aminobenzoyl (Abz) / N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethylenediamine (EDDnp) groups as the donor / acceptor pair. It corresponds to the Swedish-mutated (JMV2236) β-amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) sequence targeted by β-secretase BACE (β-site APP-cleaving activity). This FRET substrate is more selectively cleaved by BACE1 and BACE2 than by cathepsin D, a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10), tumor necrosis α-converting enzyme (TACE), presenilin-1 (PS1), or presenilin-2 (PS2).

Intramolecularly quenched fluorescent substrate containing the ortho-aminobenzoyl (Abz) / N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethylenediamine (EDDnp) groups as the donor / acceptor pair. It mimicks the wild-type (JMV2235) β-amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) sequence targeted by β-secretase BACE (β-site APP-cleaving activity). This FRET substrate is cleaved by BACE1, BACE2, and cathepsin D.

A sensitive fluorogenic (FRET) substrate developed for the analysis of γ-secretase from post mortem non-Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's disease human brain isolates.

The peptide substrate APP (667-676), SEVKMDAEFR, corresponds to the wild-type amyloid precursor protein (APP) β-secretase cleavage site. SEVKMDAEFR has been used for assaying β-secretase activity.

The N-terminal Aβ fragments Aβ1-14, Aβ1-15 (H-6368), and Aβ1-16 (H-2958) are elevated in cell media and in CSF in response to γ-secretase inhibitor treatment. The presence of these small peptides is consistent with a catabolic amyloid precursor protein cleavage pathway by β- followed by α-secretase. It has been shown that Aβ1-14, Aβ1-15, and Aβ1-16 increase dose-dependently in response to γ-secretase inhibitor treatment while Aβ1-42 levels are unchanged.

Precursor of the secreted amyloid β-protein (1-40) and (1-42). The identification of amyloid-β-protein (1-46) led to the identification of a zeta-cleavage site between the known γ- and ε-cleavage sites within the transmembrane domain of amyloid-β precursor protein (APP).

Cleavage of APP by alpha- and gamma-secretase (i.e. the non-amyloidogenic pathway) yields p3 peptide, a mix of Aβ 17-40 and Aβ 17-42. p3 is a major constituent of diffuse plaques observed in AD brains and pre-amyloid plaques in people affected by Down syndrome.
