“…Depletion of both GGA1 and GGA3 induces a rapid and robust elevation of BACE1, and such an effect will likely be interfered with by flotillin, which can compete with GGA proteins for binding to the same dileucine motif in the BACE1 tail (John et al, 2014). In neurons, BACE1 is targeted to both axons and dendrites, and its preferential transport to the axonal terminus versus somatodendrites can be regulated by altered levels of calsyntenin-1 (Steuble et al, 2012; Vagnoni et al, 2012), retromer vps35 (Wang et al, 2012a; Wen et al, 2011), RTN3 (Deng et al, 2013), Rab11, and Eps15 homology domain proteins (Buggia-Prevot et al, 2014; Buggia-Prevot et al, 2013; Udayar et al, 2013). The localization of BACE1 in synaptic sites can impact the processing of its substrates.…”
