Proteomic Characterization of the Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factor BIN1 Interactome.

ABSTRACT: The gene BIN1 is the second-largest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). It is expressed in neurons and glia in the brain as cell-type-specific and ubiquitous isoforms. BIN1 is an adaptor protein that regulates membrane dynamics in many cell types. Previously, we reported that BIN1 predominantly localizes to presynaptic terminals in neurons and regulates presynaptic vesicular release. However, the function of neuronal BIN1 in relation to LOAD is not yet fully understood. A significant gap in the field is the unbiased characterization of neuronal BIN1-interacting proteins and proximal neighbors. To address this gap and help define the functions of neuronal BIN1 in the brain, we employed TurboID-based proximity labeling to identify proteins biotinylated by the neuro
