| Abstract | In Alzheimer disease amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) accumulate in the brain. Cleavage of APP by the β-secretase BACE1 is the rate-limiting step in the production of Aβ. We have reported previously that the cellular prion protein (PrPC) inhibited the action of BACE1 toward human wild type APP (APPWT) in cellular models and that the levels of endogenous murine Aβ were significantly increased in PrPC-null mouse brain. Here we investigated the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this observation. PrPC interacted directly with the prodomain of the immature Golgi-localized form of BACE1. This interaction decreased BACE1 at the cell surface and in endosomes where it preferentially cleaves APPWT but increased it in the Golgi where it preferentially cleaves APP with the Swedish mutation (APPSwe). In transgenic mice expressing human APP with the Swedish and Indiana familial mutations (APPSwe,Ind), PrPC deletion had no influence on APP proteolytic processing, Aβ plaque deposition, or levels of soluble Aβ or Aβ oligomers. In cells, although PrPC inhibited the action of BACE1 on APPWT, it did not inhibit BACE1 activity toward APPSwe. The differential subcellular location of the BACE1 cleavage of APPSwe relative to APPWT provides an explanation for the failure of PrPC deletion to affect Aβ accumulation in APPSwe,Ind mice. Thus, although PrPC exerts no control on cleavage of APPSwe by BACE1, it has a profound influence on the cleavage of APPWT, suggesting that PrPC may be a key protective player against sporadic Alzheimer disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
