Summary of published evidence that APP interacts with Gαo (but usually not other G proteins, including Gαs, Gαz, and Gαi isofroms). The table includes studies on both wild type APP695, isolated peptide 20 constructs (containing the G protein-binding domain of APP695), and FAD-associated mutant forms of APP with altered residues at V642 (indicated in the left-hand column). Studies that showed direct binding between Gαo and APP/APPL are indicated with an asterisk (). Studies that used PTX to indicate the involvement of Gαo/i family proteins are indicated with a cross (\dagger). Studies that used CTX to indicate the absence of Gαs-dependent signaling is indicated with a hash mark (#). Study that showed direct binding between Gαs and constructs containing the G protein-binding domain is indicated with a double asterisk (∗∗). Citations for each set of results are shown in the right-hand column. Studies that showed direct binding between Gαo and APP/APPL (or the G protein-binding domain). Studies that demonstrated sensitivity to PTX, indicating the involvement of Gαo/i. #Studies that tested sensitivity to CTX, indicating the absence of Gαs-dependent signaling. ∗∗Study that showed direct binding between Gαs and peptides containing the G protein-binding domain.
