Biochem/physiol Actions

PITRM1 (Pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1) acts as a mitochondrial amyloid-β peptide (Aβ)-degrading enzyme localized in the mitochondrial matrix. Its activity is controlled by Zn(+2)-dependent metalloprotease inhibitor. The temporal lobe of the human brain has a high tendency of Aβ accumulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In Alzheimer′s disease, the low proteolytic activity of PITRM1 in the brain mitochondria has been reported. Studies have been suggested that high ROS production results in decreased PITRM1 activity followed by Aβ accumulation. As a result, it leads to the mitochondrial toxicity and neuronal death. Thus, it proves the impact of PITRM1 in the Alzheimer′s disease.

Accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), the neurotoxic peptide implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), has been shown in brain mitochondria of AD patients and of AD transgenic mouse models. The presence of Aβ in mitochondria leads to free

A novel cDNA, designated human metalloendoprotease 1 (hMP1), was identified on the basis of homology to known metalloendoproteases of the pitrilysin family. The full-length MP1 codes for a protein with an open reading frame of 1038 amino acids. The N-terminal

Several studies suggest mitochondrial dysfunction as a possible mechanism underlying the development of Alzheimer disease (AD). There is data showing that amyloid-beta (A beta) peptide is present in AD brain mitochondria. The human presequence protease (hPreP) was recently shown to
