AV is the major component of amyloid in the brain in Alzheimer's disease and is derived from Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP) by sequential proteoiytic cleavage involving alpha-, beta- and gamma-secretase. Recently, gamma-secretase was shown to cleave near the cytoplasmic membrane boundary of APP (called the epsilon-cleavage), as well as in the middle of the membrane domain (gamma-cleavage). However, the precise relationship between gamma- and epsilon-cleavage is still unknown. In this paper, I analyzed Abeta-related peptides using immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography ion trap mass spectrometer and found some long Abeta-related peptides, starting at Abeta residues 16Lys-23Asp and ending at 43Thr-52Leu, in the culture media of COS-1 cells and in human brain extract. These results indicated that longer Abeta-related peptides cleaved at epsilon-cleavage site were secreted under normal conditions and were dependent on the alpha-secretase cleavage products.
