Target type: biologicalprocess
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of amyloid precursor protein catabolic process. [GO_REF:0000058, GOC:PARL, GOC:rl, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:24499793]
The regulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) catabolic process is a complex and multifaceted process that involves a delicate balance between proteolytic cleavage pathways leading to the production of either non-amyloidogenic or amyloidogenic products. APP is a type I transmembrane protein that undergoes proteolytic processing by a series of enzymes, including α-, β-, and γ-secretases. The α-secretase cleavage pathway, typically initiated by α-secretases like ADAM10, releases a large, non-amyloidogenic ectodomain fragment called sAPPα. This cleavage occurs within the Aβ domain, preventing the formation of amyloidogenic products. Conversely, the β-secretase cleavage pathway, mediated by BACE1, releases a smaller ectodomain fragment called sAPPβ. The remaining C-terminal fragment then undergoes cleavage by γ-secretase, a multiprotein complex, resulting in the generation of Aβ peptides. The ratio of α-secretase to β-secretase activity significantly influences the balance between amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic pathways. Factors such as cell type, age, and environmental stimuli can modulate these pathways. For example, increased α-secretase activity is associated with a reduction in Aβ production, while increased β-secretase activity promotes Aβ accumulation. Furthermore, γ-secretase activity can be modulated by different substrates and inhibitors, further influencing Aβ production. Additional regulatory mechanisms include post-translational modifications of APP and associated proteins, such as phosphorylation and glycosylation. These modifications can influence APP processing and Aβ production. In summary, the regulation of APP catabolic process involves a complex interplay of multiple proteases, intracellular signaling pathways, and environmental factors. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies against Alzheimer's disease and other amyloid-related disorders.'
