摘要: We have biochemically purified A beta from brains of two unrelated familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) pedigrees with the APP717 mutation (Val-->Ile) and sporadic (AD) characterized them by means mass spectrometry enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. observed types amyloid protein (A beta), short-tail form 1-40) long-tail 1-42/43), in AD FAD brains, found that ratio 1-42/43) to total was increased brains. These vivo results were confirmed vitro using cultured cells transfected three kinds APP cDNAs bearing mutations (Val-->Ile, Gly, or Phe). Taken together hypothesis 1-42/43 functions as a "seed" increases kinetics fibril formation (Jarrett, J. T., Lansbury, P. Jr. (1993) Cell 73, 1055-1058), we conclude missense does not create new species but promotes accumulation brain, which enhancement soluble beta. findings provide causal relationship between this genotype pathological phenotype deposition senile plaque formation.
