medicine | TGase can contribute to Alzheimer disease by initiating amyloid beta-protein oligomerization and aggregation at physiological levels, by reducing the clearance of amyloid beta-protein due to the generation of protease-resistant amyloid beta-protein species, and by forming amyloid beta-protein assemblies that inhibit processes involved in memory and learning. TGase might constitute a specific therapeutic target for slowing or blocking the progression of Alzheimer disease | Homo sapiens |

additional information | Homo sapiens | TGase induces rapid aggregation of amyloid beta-protein within 0.5-30 min, which is not observed with chemical cross-linkers. Both amyloid beta-protein40 and amyloid beta-protein42 are good substrates for TGase but show different aggregation patterns. Guinea pig and human TGase induced similar amyloid beta-protein aggregation patterns, and oligomerization is observed with amyloid beta-protein40 concentrations as low as 50 nM. The formed amyloid beta-protein40 species ranges from 5 to 6 nm spheres to curvilinear structures of the same width, but up to 100 nm in length. TGase-induced amyloid beta-protein40 assemblies are resistant to a 1 h incubation with either neprilysin or insulin degrading enzyme, whereas the monomer is rapidly degraded by both proteases | ? | - |
