AbstractAging increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). During normal aging synapses decline and β-Amyloid (Aβ) accumulates. An Aβ defective clearance with aging is postulated as responsible for Aβ accumulation, although a role for increased Aβ production with aging can also lead to Aβ accumulation. To test this hypothesis, we established a long-term culture of primary mouse neurons that mimics neuronal aging (lysosomal lipofuscin accumulation and synapse decline). Intracellular endogenous Aβ42 accumulated in aged neurites due to increased amyloid-precursor protein (APP) processing. We show that APP processing is up-regulated by a specific age-dependent increase in APP endocytosis. Endocytosed APP accumulated in early endosomes that, in turn were found augmented in aged neurites. APP processing and early endosomes up-regulation was recapitulated in vivo. Finally, we found that inhibition of Aβ production reduced the decline in synapses in aged neurons. We propose that potentiation of APP endocytosis by neuronal aging increases Aβ production, which contributes to aging-dependent decline in synapses.SummaryHow aging increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease is not clear. We show that normal neuronal aging increases the intracellular production of β-amyloid, due to an upregulation of the amyloid precursor protein endocytosis. Importantly, increased Aβ production contributes to the aging-dependent synapse loss.

We investigated the relationship between PS1 and γ-secretase processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in primary cultures of neurons. Increasing the amount of APP at the cell surface or towards endosomes did not significantly affect PS1-dependent γ-secretase cleavage, although little PS1 is present in those subcellular compartments. In contrast, almost no γ-secretase processing was observed when holo-APP or APP-C99, a direct substrate for γ-secretase, were specifically retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by a double lysine retention motif. Nevertheless, APP-C99-dilysine (KK) colocalized with PS1 in the ER. In contrast, APP-C99 did not colocalize with PS1, but was efficiently processed by PS1-dependent γ-secretase. APP-C99 resides in a compartment that is negative for ER, intermediate compartment, and Golgi marker proteins. We conclude that γ-secretase cleavage of APP-C99 occurs in a specialized subcellular compartment where little or no PS1 is detected. This suggests that at least one other factor than PS1, located downstream of the ER, is required for the γ-cleavage of APP-C99. In agreement, we found that intracellular γ-secretase processing of APP-C99-KK both at the γ40 and the γ42 site could be restored partially after brefeldin A treatment. Our data confirm the “spatial paradox” and raise several questions regarding the PS1 is γ-secretase hypothesis.

AbstractEndocytosis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is critical for generation of β-amyloid, aggregating in Alzheimer's disease. APP endocytosis depending on the intracellular NPTY motif is well investigated, whereas involvement of the YTSI (also termed BaSS) motif remains controversial. Here, we show that APP lacking the YTSI motif (ΔYTSI) displays reduced localization to early endosomes and decreased internalization rates, similar to APP ΔNPTY. Additionally, we show that the YTSI-binding protein, PAT1a interacts with the Rab5 activator RME-6, as shown by several independent assays. Interestingly, knockdown of RME-6 decreased APP endocytosis, whereas overexpression increased the same. Similarly, APP ΔNPTY endocytosis was affected by PAT1a and RME-6 overexpression, whereas APP ΔYTSI internalization remained unchanged. Moreover, we could show that RME-6 mediated increase of APP endocytosis can be diminished upon knocking down PAT1a. Together, our data identify RME-6 as a novel player in APP endocytosis, involving the YTSI-binding protein PAT1a.

Fluorescent tagging is a powerful tool for imaging proteins in living cells. However, the steric effects imposed by fluorescent tags impair the behavior of many proteins. Here, we report a novel technique, Instant with DTT, EDT, And Low temperature (IDEAL)-labeling, for rapid and specific FlAsH-labeling of tetracysteine-tagged cell surface proteins by using prion protein (PrP) and amyloid precursor protein (APP) as models. In prion-infected cells, FlAsH-labeled tetracysteine-tagged PrP converted from the normal isoform (PrPsen) to the disease-associated isoform (PrPres), suggesting minimal steric effects of the tag. Pulse-chase analysis of PrP and APP by fluorescent gel imaging demonstrated the utility of IDEAL labeling in investigating protein metabolism by identifying an as-yet-unrecognized C-terminal fragment (C3) of PrPsen and by characterizing the kinetics of PrPres and APP metabolism. C3 generation and N-terminal truncation of PrPres were inhibited by the anti-prion compound E64, a cysteine protease inhibitor. Surprisingly, E64 did not inhibit the synthesis of new PrPres, providing insight into the mechanism by which E64 reduces steady-state PrPres levels in prion-infected cells. To expand the versatility of tetracysteine tagging, we created new Alexa Fluor- and biotin-conjugated tetracysteine-binding molecules that were applied to imaging PrP endocytosis and ultrastructural localization. IDEAL-labeling extends the use of biarsenical derivatives to extracellular proteins and beyond microscopic imaging.
