摘要
Genetic alterations of amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) production caused by mutations in the A beta precursor protein (APP) cause familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mutations in BRI2, a gene of undefined function, are linked to familial British and Danish dementias, which are pathologically and clinically similar to Alzheimer's disease. We report that BRI2 is a physiological suppressor of A beta production. BRI2 restrict docking of gamma-secretase to APP and access of alpha- and beta-secretases to their cleavage APP sequences. Alterations of BRI2 by gene targeting or transgenic expression regulate A beta levels and AD pathology in mouse models of AD. Competitive inhibition of APP processing by BRI2 may provide a new approach to AD therapy and prevention.
