Disease relevance of APLP1

 

Psychiatry related information on APLP1

  • This screen identified the amyloid precursor like protein 1 (APLP1), a homologue of the beta-amyloid precursor protein involved in Alzheimer's disease, as alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor-binding protein [3].
 

High impact information on APLP1

  • Clues to the function of APP derive from the recent finding that it is a member of a highly conserved protein family that includes the mammalian amyloid precursor-like protein (APLP1) gene which maps to the same general region of human chromosome 19 linked to late-onset FAD [4].
  • APLP2, but not APLP1, was found to interact with hFE65L [5].
  • In fact, an antibody uptake assay revealed that expression of APLP1 reduced the rate of APP endocytosis [6].
  • As revealed by domain deletion analysis, the increase in APP shedding required the NPTY amino acid motif within the cytoplasmic domain of APLP1 [6].
  • APP and its two paralogues, APLP1 and APLP2 (APLPs), are processed in a very similar manner by the same protease activities [7].
 

Biological context of APLP1

 

Anatomical context of APLP1

 

Associations of APLP1 with chemical compounds

  • RA-induced APLP1 protein expression was blocked by curcumin, while the APLP2 protein levels were further increased [1].
  • Furthermore, cotransfection of alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor and APLP1 into HEK293 cells significantly increased norepinephrine mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity [3].
  • We have demonstrated that hAPLP1 represents a novel glycoprotein which carries both N- and O-linked glycans [15].
 

Regulatory relationships of APLP1

  • Furthermore, our results suggest that APLP1 does not undergo the same type of regulated processing as APP and APLP2 [1].
 

Other interactions of APLP1

  • The remaining five S/MARs were found within intronic sequences of APLP1, HSPOX1, MAG, and NPHS1 genes, and can be tentatively characterized as regulatory S/MARs [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of APLP1

  • Confocal laser microscopy showed that APLP1 causes a considerable shift of the alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor localization from plasma membrane to intracellular compartments [3].
  • GST affinity chromatography revealed that APLP1 specifically interacts with all three human alpha(2)-adrenergic receptor subtypes and deletion mutant analysis confined the APLP1 domain involved in binding to alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors to the 13 amino acid residues Ser599-Ala611 [3].
  • Western blots with antibodies to Alzheimer precursor-like proteins (APLP) indicate that APP immune reactivity is not a result of cross reactivity with APLPs [17].
  • The hAPLP1 cDNA was also expressed ectopically in COS-7 cells and the protein expression was analyzed by immunoprecipitation and western blotting [15].
  • We determined the AB0 blood group system with a PCR based technique termed APLP (Amplified Product Length Polymorphism) in the Turkish population [18].
