Klotho is an anti-aging protein with different functions of the full-length membrane protein and the secreted hormone-like form. Using overexpression and knock-down approaches as well as embryonic fibroblasts of knock-out mice we present evidence that Klotho is shedded by the alpha-secretases ADAM10 and 17 as well as by the beta-secretase beta-APP cleaving enzyme 1. The remaining membrane-bound fragment is a substrate for regulated intramembrane proteolysis by gamma-secretase. Our data suggest that therapeutic approaches targeting these proteases should be carefully analyzed for potential side effects on Klotho-mediated physiological processes.
α-klotho是一种具有抗衰老功能的蛋白质,全长膜蛋白和分泌的激素样形式具有不同的功能。我们使用过表达和敲低方法以及基因敲除小鼠的胚胎成纤维细胞,证明α-klotho可被α-分泌酶ADAM10和ADAM17以及β-分泌酶β-淀粉样前体蛋白裂解酶1切割。剩余的膜结合片段是γ-分泌酶介导的调节性膜内蛋白水解的底物。我们的数据表明,针对这些蛋白酶的治疗方法应仔细分析其对α-klotho介导的生理过程的潜在副作用。
