LDL receptor-related protein, a multifunctional ApoE receptor, binds secreted β-amyloid precursor protein and mediates its degradation

Abstract: The secreted form of beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) containing the Kunitz proteinase inhibitor (KPI) domain, also called protease nexin II, is internalized and degraded by cells. We show that the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) is responsible for the endocytosis of secreted APP. APPs770 degradation is inhibited by an LRP antagonist called the receptor-associated protein (RAP) and by LRP antibodies and is greatly diminished in fibroblasts genetically deficient in LRP. APPs695,… Show more

“…Indeed, several apoE receptors interact with APP and modulate its trafficking and processing. LRP1 interacts with APP extracellularly by binding to the Kunitz-type protease inhibitor (KPI) domain that is present in the longer forms of APP (APP751 and APP770) (Kounnas et al 1995). Further studies showed that LRP1 also interacts with the neuronal isoform of APP lacking the KPI domain (APP695).…”

“…LRP is also believed to mediate the differential neurite outgrowth responses of cultured neurons in response to the various isoforms of ApoE (Gliemann 1998;Sun et al 1998). APP has also been shown to stimulate neurite outgrowth, however, LRP may not be directly involved in this response, at least in cultures of chick sympathetic neurons (Kounnas et al 1995;Qiu et al 1995;Postuma et al 1998). Thus, lipoproteins and their receptors may play several roles in brain development and function.…”

“…Inheritance of the apoE4 allele is a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (Rubinsztein 1997). Another ligand of LRP is the secreted form of APP (Kounnas et al 1995). ApoE, APP, and LRP have been found in senile plaques and polymorphisms in LRP have been linked to Alzheimer's disease Hollenbach et al 1998).…”

“…A 39-kDa protein, termed the receptor-associated protein (RAP) (17), binds to several members of the LDL receptor family (18 -20) and blocks their ligand binding capacity. LRP mediates the cellular uptake and subsequent degradation of proteinases, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (21) and urinary-type plasminogen activator (22), proteinase-inhibitor complexes, such as ␣ 2 -macroglobulin-proteinase complexes (23,24), soluble amyloid precursor protein (25), and apolipoprotein E-enriched lipoproteins (26,27). LRP is expressed in many tissues, and is a major endocytic receptor in the liver and in the central nervous system (for reviews, see Refs.…”
