Phorbol esters (PDBu) stimulate alpha-secretase cleavage and secretion of the Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP). To determine whether any cytoplasmic residues or sequence motifs mediate the PDBu effect on APP processing, this region of APP was altered by point mutations or deletions. To differentiate the mutated APP from the endogenous APP, the APP751 ectodomain between amino acids 1 and 647 was replaced by a human secreted alkaline phosphatase derivative (SEAP). The resultant fusion protein (SEAP-APP751) was cleaved by alpha-secretase at the same site as full-length APP, and its secretion was stimulated by PDBu at a level similar to APP751. However, PDBu-stimulated secretion of the SEAP-APP751 fusion protein reached its maximum level after 30 min of treatment, while secretion of APP751 reached its maximum after 60 min, suggesting that the APP ectodomain affects the kinetics of APP secretion. Mutation of the cytoplasmic serines to alanines had no effect on the PDBu-stimulated secretion of the SEAP-APP, indicating that protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of APP is not important for stimulation of APP secretion. Similarly, deletion of the cytoplasmic domain between amino acids 719 and 751 had no effect on the PDBu-stimulated secretion. However, deletion of amino acids 707-751 resulted in a significant increase in the secretory cleavage of the SEAP-APP707 delta C construct, suggesting that the sequence 707-719 is important for the regulated secretion of APP. Cholera toxin, but not pertussis toxin, reduced the PDBu-induced secretion of APP by more than two-fold, suggesting that the PDBu response may be modulated by a cholera toxin sensitive heterotrimeric G-protein.
