| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that the ubiquitin ligase HRD1 is involved in degradation of amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is processed into β-amyloid, the responsible protein for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Interestingly, HRD1 protein is reduced in the postmortem cerebral cortex of AD patients, possibly because of its protein insolubilization. In this study, we demonstrated the involvement of oxidative stress in HRD1 insolubilization. We also found that ubiquitin ligases, Dorfin (RNF19A) and RNF19B, are involved in Aβ generation through a different mechanism from that of HRD1. In this study, we demonstrated that Dorfin and RNF19B regulate APP processing by γ-secretase through APP trafficking to the lysosome.
