Journal ArticleDOI

The Amyloid Precursor Protein of Alzheimer's Disease in the Reduction of Copper(II) to Copper(I)

TL;DR: Copper ion-mediated toxicity may contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Copper-mediated toxicity of APP-Cu(II)/(I) complexes may contribute to neurodegeneration in AD and another neurological disorder, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, supports the view that AD and FALS may be linked through a common mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copper-binding amyloid precursor protein undergoes a site-specific fragmentation in the reduction of hydrogen peroxide.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a cytotoxic gain-of-function of APP-Cu(I) complexes might result in a perturbation of free radical homeostasis for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human BACE forms dimers and colocalizes with APP.

TL;DR: It is found that in human brain tissue, BACE occurred as a dimer, and inactivation of the carboxyl-terminal active site motif of BACE without an impairment of overall enzyme activity suggests that the enzyme may act as aDimer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetic Analysis of the Interaction of the Copper Chaperone Atox1 with the Metal Binding Sites of the Menkes Protein

TL;DR: Interactions of Atox1 with wild-type and mutated pairs of the MBSs of MNK are investigated using yeast two-hybrid analysis and real-time surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to demonstrate the power and sensitivity of SPR as compared with other, more indirect methods.
