| Abstract |
While the activities of certain proteases promote proteostasis and prevent neurodegeneration-associated phenotypes, the protease cathepsin B (CTSB) enhances proteotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice, and its levels are elevated in brains of AD patients. How CTSB exacerbates the toxicity of the AD-causing Amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is controversial. Using an activity-based probe, aging-altering interventions and the nematode C. elegans, we discovered that the CTSB CPR-6 promotes Aβ proteotoxicity but mitigates the toxicity of polyQ stretches. While the knockdown of cpr-6 does not affect lifespan, it alleviates Aβ toxicity by reducing the expression of swsn-3 and elevating the level of the protein SMK-1, both involved in the regulation of aging. These observations unveil a mechanism by which CTSB aggravates Aβ-mediated toxicity, indicate that it plays opposing roles in the face of distinct proteotoxic insults and highlight the importance of tailoring specific remedies for distinct neurodegenerative disorders.
