Role of redox-sensitive catalytic interaction with ADAM10 in mutant-selective extracellular shedding of prion protein.

ABSTRACT: Misfolded glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored prion protein (PrP) is primarily degraded in lysosomes but is often rapidly removed from the cell surface before endocytosis in a preemptive manner. However, this mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we discovered a disease-causing prion mutation (Q212P) that exceptionally promoted the extracellular release of PrP. Spatiotemporal analyses combined with genome editing identified the role of sheddase ADAM10 in Q212P shedding from the cell surface. ADAM10 was observed to catalytically interacts with Q212P but non-catalytically with wild-type PrP (wtPrP). This intrinsic difference in the interaction of ADAM10 between Q212P and wtPrP allowed Q212P to selectively access the sheddase activity of ADAM10 in a redox-sensitive manner. In addit
