    • Identification of glycosylation site involving into substrate preference of gamma-secretase
      Funamoto Satoru; Moniruzzaman Mohammad
      Nicastrin is one of components of γ-secretase complex, catalyzes the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein to generate amyloid-β protein (Aβ). NCT becomes matured through complex glycosylation and play important role in γ-secretase activity. However, the role of NCT glycosylation on γ-secretase activity and substrate specificity is still unknown. We investigated the effect of NCT glycosylation on γ-secretase activity and substrate specificity in a group of glycosylation mutant lectin resistant CHO (Lec) cells. CHO Lec-1 cells lack glycosyltransferase-I, thus N-glycan on NCT are all oligomannose type. We found that mutant CHO Lec-1 and Lec-2 reduced γ-secretase activity in both cell-based and biochemical assays, and that CHO Lec-1 preferentially reduced Aβ generation. Our data suggests that thorough glycosylation of NCT is critical for enzymatic activity and substrate preference of γ-secretase., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2016/04 -2019/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University
    • Characterization of the enzymatic properties of γ-secretase
      IHARA Yasuo; FUNAMOTO Satoru; MORISHIMA Maho
      How the cleavage proceeds within the membrane has long been enigmatic. We previously hypothesized that βCTF is cleaved first at the membrane-cytoplasm boundary, producing two long Ass, Aβ48 and Aβ49, which are processed further by releasing three residues at each step to produce Aβ42 and Aβ40, respectively. To test this hypothesis, we used LC-MS/MS to quantify the specific tripeptides that are postulated to be released. Using CHAPSO-reconstituted γ-secretase system, we confirmed that Aβ49 is converted to Aβ43/40 by successively releasing two or three tripeptides, and that Aβ48 is converted to Aβ42/38 by successively releasing two tripeptides or these plus an additional tetrapeptide., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2005 -2009, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas
    • アミロイド前駆体タンパク質のガンマ切断部位を制御する因子の探索
      舟本 聡
      ガンマ切断部位を制御する因子のスクリーニングのため、ガンマセクレターゼの試験管内Aβ産生系の確立を試みた。培養細胞から調製した膜フラクションを界面活性剤CHAPSOで可溶化し、その遠心上清を膜抽出液とした。これに基質C99-FLAGを添加し、Aβの産生を検討した。Aβは反応時間依存的・基質濃度依存的に産生されることがわかった。この系ではAβ40、Aβ42、Aβ43、Aβ45、Aβ48、Aβ49の分子種が同定され、可溶化前の膜とは異なりAβ46の産生を確認できなかった。しかし、ガンマセクレターゼ活性はこれまで報告されている試験管内Aβ産生系と比較しても30倍以上あり、この系はAβ産生モデルとしてメカニズムの解明や阻害剤の開発への利用が期待できる。この成果は今年度はじめに雑誌the Journal of Biological Chemistryに受理され、その後国内外のさまざまな研究室でこの系が利用されている。 ホスファチジルイノシトールリン酸は脂質構成成分としては微量にしか含まれてないが、生体内でシグナル分子またはセカンドメッセンジャー前駆体として重要な機能を果たしている。ホスファチジルイノシトールリン酸がガンマセクレターゼにも影響を与えていることを考慮し、上記のガンマセクレターゼ測定系にホスファチジルイノシトールリン酸を添加し、産生されるAβとその分子種を調べた。その結果リン酸基数の上昇に伴い、Aβ産生が抑制されることを見いだした。他のリン脂質(ホスファチジルコリン)との混合で、Aβ42の産生が顕著になる条件を見いだした。, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 2005 -2006, 若手研究(B), 東京大学
    • ガンマセクレターゼの同定とアミロイドベータタンパク質Aβ42の産生機序
      舟本 聡
      今年度の本研究では、ガンマセクレターゼによるガンマ切断のイプシロン切断依存性を検証するため、予めガンマ切断部位からはじまるAPPカルボキシル末断片(CTF41-99)をCHO細胞に発現させて、イプシロン切断が起こるか否か検討した。その結果、細胞内からγCTFと伺じ移動度の断片が検出され、質量分析の結果CTF50-99であることがわかった。しかし、ガンマセクレターゼ特異的阻害剤(L-685,458)を細胞に処理しCTF50-99の検出を試みると、細胞は処理にも関わらずCTF50-99を産生することがわかった。このことはCTF41-99を発現させて得られたCTF50-99はガンマセクレターゼとは別の機構で生じていることを示し、ガンマセクレターゼによるガンマ切断のイプシロン切断依存性を反証するには到らなかった。以上の結果と昨年の成果を含めた論文がBiochemistry誌に受理された。 膜貫通部分の途中までを含むAPPのカルボキシル末端断片(CTF1-51)を細胞に発現させると、Aβ42が顕著に増加しAβ40が減少する。このCTF1-51を発現する細胞をAβ42の産生モデルとし、様々な条件でAβの産生能を調査した。まず、この細胞の膜フラクションを様々な界面活性剤で可溶化し、酵素活性(Aβ産生能)を測定した。通常のCTF1-99を発現する細胞の膜フラクションはDIGITONINで可溶化しても酵素活性を有することはないが、CTF1-51を発現する細胞の場合では酵素活性を有していた。また、産生されるAβ42の割合は依然高いままであった。一方、Blue Native PAGEにより可溶化フラクションを展開し、抗Nicastrin抗体でガンマセクレターゼ複合体を検出したところ、分子量44万に加えて30万〜25万付近にもバンドを検出した。通常のCTF1-99を発現する細胞の可溶化フラクションでは分子量44万のバンドのみ検出されることから、30万〜25万付近に現れるバンドはAβ42の産生に特異的なものと考えられる。, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 2003 -2004, 若手研究(B), 東京大学
    • Hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of tau protein, and neuronal death
      IHARA Yasuo; MORISHIMA Maho; FUNAMOTO Satoru; MIYASAKA Tomohiro; ITO Mamoru; FUJITA Shinobu
      Discovery of various mutations in the tau gene among the families affected by frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) suggests gain-of-toxic function of wild-type or mutant tau as the mechanism for extensive neuronal loss. To learn about the role of tau in the tauopathy, we have generated animal models that express FTDP-17 mutant (P301L or R406W) tau. 1.We established transgenic mice expressing prion promoter-driven P301L mutant tau. The brains were sampled from those mice at various ages (3, 6, 12, 20, and 24 months) and analyzed by either biochemical or immunohistochemical methods. However, transgene-derived alterations, such as degeneration of neurons and deposition of tau, were not observed up to 24 months. 2.We generated transgenic nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) expressing wild-type or mutant (P301L and R406W) tau in the touch (mechanosensory) neurons. Whereas the worm expressing wild-type tau showed only a small decrease in the touch response across the lifespan, the worm expressing mutant tau displayed a large and progressive decrease. When the touch neurons lost their function, neuritic abnormalities were prominent, and microtubular loss became remarkable in the later stage. A substantial fraction of degenerating neurons developed tau accumulation in the cell body and neuronal processes. This neuronal dysfunction is not related to the apoptotic process because little recovery from touch abnormality was observed in the ced-3 or ced-4-deficient background. Expression of GSK3 brought about slight deterioration in the touch response, while expression of HSP70 led to some improvement., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2000 -2004, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas, University of Tokyo
