Structure of the Alzheimer's Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) Copper Binding Domain in 'large unit cell' form
Contents |
Overview
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia. Amyloid beta, peptide (Abeta), generated by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid, precursor protein (APP), is central to AD pathogenesis. APP can function, as a metalloprotein and modulate copper (Cu) transport, presumably via its, extracellular Cu-binding domain (CuBD). Cu binding to the CuBD reduces, Abeta levels, suggesting that a Cu mimetic may have therapeutic potential., We describe here the atomic structures of apo CuBD from three crystal, forms and found they have identical Cu-binding sites despite the different, crystal lattices. The structure of Cu(2+)-bound CuBD reveals that the, metal ligands are His147, His151, Tyr168 and two water molecules, which, are arranged in a square pyramidal geometry. The site resembles a Type 2, non-blue Cu center and is supported by electron paramagnetic resonance and, extended X-ray absorption fine structure studies. A previous study, suggested that Met170 might be a ligand but we suggest that this residue, plays a critical role as an electron donor in CuBDs ability to reduce Cu, ions. The structure of Cu(+)-bound CuBD is almost identical to the, Cu(2+)-bound structure except for the loss of one of the water ligands., The geometry of the site is unfavorable for Cu(+), thus providing a, mechanism by which CuBD could readily transfer Cu ions to other proteins.
