| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 42-mer amyloid β-protein (Aβ42) oligomerizes (2~24-mer: 2 or 3 x n-mer) intracellularly to show the neurotoxicity in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer′s disease. There are few studies on the mode of action of intracellular toxic oligomers of Aβ42 and their target molecules. We developed a molecular probe of toxic oligomers of Aβ42 and searched for their associated proteins within the cell. The design of the probe was based on the toxic-conformation constrained E22P-Aβ42 and L,L-2,6-diaminopimeric acid (DAP) linker at position 40 in the C-terminal hydrophobic core, the formation of which plays a critical role in the oligomerization of Aβ42. The dimer probe of Aβ42 generated oligomers (12~24-mer) with the potent neurotoxicity against human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. After reacting the probe with cytosolic lysates of SH-SY5Y, three proteins preferably bound to the dimer probe were identified by MS/MS analysis using the biotin-avidin technology.
