P3‐335: Upstream of N‐ras (UNR) is involved in translational control of ADAM10 protein expression

2008

Background: The amyloid beta peptide (A ) is derived by proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the beta-secretase BACE1 and gamma-secretase. In contrast to this amyloidogenic processing, APP is predominantly cleaved by the alpha-secretase within the A domain and this precludes the formation of A . We and other research groups could show that BACE1 protein expression is regulated by the 5’untranslated region (UTR) of the BACE1 mRNA, however little is known about the regulation of alpha-secretase. Similar to the 5’UTR of BACE1, the 5’UTR of ADAM10 consists of 444 nucleotides with a GC-content of 70% and two upstream open reading frames. We hypothesize that ADAM10, th…

Expression of the Anti-amyloidogenic Secretase ADAM10 Is Suppressed by Its 5′-Untranslated Region*

2010

Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein by alpha-secretase prevents formation of the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), which is the main constituent of amyloid plaques in brains of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. alpha-Secretase activity is decreased in AD, and overexpression of the alpha-secretase ADAM10 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10) in an AD animal model prevents amyloid pathology. ADAM10 has a 444-nucleotide-long, very GC-rich 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) with two upstream open reading frames. Because similar properties of 5'-UTRs are found in transcripts of many genes, which are regulated by translational control mechanisms, we asked whether ADAM10 expression is…
