Abstract

Hark et al. use dynamic metabolic 15N labeling and mass-spectrometry-based proteomics to investigate changes to protein turnover in App knockin mice. In this preclinical Alzheimer's disease mouse model, they find that proteostasis in the presynaptic terminal is specifically altered. Synaptic vesicle (SV)-associated proteins functioning in exo- and endocytosis have impaired degradation and elevated levels in the cortex and hippocampus. Finally, the readily releasable SV pool and presynaptic potentiation is enhanced at the earliest stages of amyloid beta accumulation.
