Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of -amyloid (A)–induced neuronal toxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we demonstrate that A-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) is a direct molecular link from A to mito-chondrial toxicity. A interacts with ABAD in the mitochondria of AD patients and transgenic mice. The crystal structure of A-bound ABAD shows substantial deformation of the active site that prevents nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) binding. An ABAD peptide specifically inhibits ABAD-A interaction and suppresses A-induced apoptosis and free-radical generation in neurons. Trans-genic mice overexpressing ABAD in an A-rich environment manifest exaggerated neuronal oxidative stress and impaired memory. These data suggest that the ABAD-A interaction may be a therapeutic target in AD. Human ABAD (also known as ERAB and HSD-10) was the only protein identified from four positive clones that bound A in a yeast two-hybrid screen against human brain and HeLa cDNA libraries (1, 2). Biochemical characterization has established that the interaction between ABAD and A is highly specific and starts to occur at nanomolar concentrations. At micromolar concentrations, A, likely in its oligomeric form, inhibits ABAD enzymatic activity (1, 3, 4). ABAD appears to have an essential physiological role in mitochondria (1, 3), and mutational inactiva-tion of Drosophila ABAD (scully) resulted in a lethal phenotype (5). ABAD is up-regulated in affected neurons in AD (1) (fig. S1), and coexpression of ABAD with mutant amyloid precursor protein (mAPP) exacerbates A-induced cellular oxidant stress and cell death (1, 3). Thus, we speculated that the interaction of A with ABAD might induce mito-chondrial dysfunction. However, because it had not been established that intracellular A can access mito-chondria, it was essential to determine whether ABAD and A interact in pathophysiologically relevant settings. To address this directly, we detected ABAD-A complex in AD brains by immunoprecipitating cortical protein extracts with anti-A and then by immunoblot-ting with anti-ABAD immunoglobulin G (IgG) [Fig. 1A and supporting online material (SOM) text S1]. Age-matched nondemented brain displayed very little ABAD-A complex. Because cellular and mitochondrial integrity may start to deteriorate soon after death, allowing nonphysiological interactions to occur, we isolated mitochondria from the cerebral cortex of 12-month-old mice expressing mAPP (6), ABAD (7), or both, driven by the platelet-derived growth factor B-chain promoter (SOM text S2 and S3). The purity of mitochondrial preparations was confirmed by the enrichment of cyto-chrome c oxidase IV (Cox IV), and the relative absence of lysosomal (cathepsin D) and endoplasmic reticulum [protein disul-fide …
