The expression of the carboxyl-terminal 100 (C-100) residues of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) may provide a model for studying the processing of APP to the 42-43 residue beta-amyloid peptide (beta A4) implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Expression of human C-100 in mammalian cells reportedly causes 'toxicity' and amyloid-like fibrils. We have expressed the C-100 fragment in human embryonic kidney cells (293 cells) in a transient assay and compared it to the expression of transfected wild type and mutant (Swedish familial Alzheimer's disease) full length APP. Products were characterized by Western blot analysis using antibodies to the carboxyl-terminal region of APP.

D011328 Prions Small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify NUCLEIC ACIDS and contain an abnormal isoform of a cellular protein which is a major and necessary component. The abnormal (scrapie) isoform is PrPSc (PRPSC PROTEINS) and the cellular isoform PrPC (PRPC PROTEINS). The primary amino acid sequence of the two isoforms is identical. Human diseases caused by prions include CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME; GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER SYNDROME; and INSOMNIA, FATAL FAMILIAL. Mink Encephalopathy Virus,Prion,Encephalopathy Virus, Mink
