The effect of the secretory form of amyloid precursor protein (sAPP) on synaptic transmission was examined by using developing neuromuscular synapses in Xenopus cell cultures. The frequency of spontaneous postsynaptic currents (SSCs) was reduced by the addition of sAPP, whereas the amplitude of impulse-evoked postsynaptic currents (ESCs) was increased by sAPP. These opposing effects on spontaneous versus evoked release were separated by using the specific domain of APP. The C-terminal fragment of sAPP (CAPP) only reduced SSC frequency and did not affect ESCs. By contrast, the N-terminal fragment of sAPP (NAPP) did not affect SSC frequency but did increase ESC amplitude. The reduction of SSC frequency by sAPP appears to be mediated by activation of potassium channels through a cGMP-dependent pathway, whereas the increase of ESC amplitude is mediated by a different pathway involving activation of protein kinase(s). These results suggest the potential role of sAPP as a modulator of synaptic activity by two specific domains.
