-peptides are the main
components of amyloid plaques found in the brain of Alzheimer's
disease patients. Amyloid 39-42
-peptide is formed from amyloid
precursor protein by the sequential action of
- and
-secretases.
Asp-2 is a transmembrane aspartic protease expressed in the brain,
shown to have
-secretase activity. Mature Asp-2 has four
N-glycosylation sites. In this report we have characterized
the carbohydrate structures in this glycoprotein expressed in three
different cell lines, namely Chinese hamster ovary, CV-1 origin of
SV40, and baculovirus-infected SF9 cells. Biantennary and triantennary
oligosaccharides of the "complex" type were released from
glycoprotein expressed in the mammalian cells, whereas mannose-rich
glycans were identified from glycoprotein synthesized in the
baculovirus-infected cells. Site-directed mutagenesis of the asparagine
residues at amino acid positions 153, 172, 223, and 354 demonstrate
that the protease activity of Asp-2 is dependent on its glycosylation.
