In this study, we use antisera to synthetic beta-amyloid protein precursor (beta APP) peptides to identify, in human brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), soluble approximately 125- and approximately 105-kDa derivatives of the beta APP that lack the carboxyl terminus of the full-length, membrane-associated forms. We show that the soluble approximately 125-kDa beta APP derivative contains the Kunitz protease inhibitor domain, whereas the approximately 105-kDa form does not, and we confirm that these two proteins are soluble beta APP derivatives by purifying each from human CSF and directly sequencing its amino terminus.
在本研究中,我们使用针对合成β-淀粉样蛋白前体(βAPP)肽段的抗血清,在人脑和脑脊液(CSF)中鉴定出βAPP的可溶性衍生物,其分子量约为125 kDa和105 kDa,缺乏全长膜相关形式的羧基末端。我们发现,可溶性约125 kDa的βAPP衍生物含有Kunitz蛋白酶抑制剂结构域,而约105 kDa的形式则没有,并且我们通过从人CSF中纯化每种蛋白质并直接对其氨基末端进行测序,证实这两种蛋白质是可溶性βAPP衍生物。
