Visualizing Active Enzyme Complexes Using a Photoreactive Inhibitor for Proximity Ligation – Application on γ-Secretase
Here, we present a highly sensitive method to study protein-protein interactions and subcellular location selectively for active multicomponent enzymes. We apply the method on γ-secretase, the enzyme complex that catalyzes the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to generate amyloid β-peptide (Aβ), the major causative agent in Alzheimer disease (AD). The novel assay is based on proxi...
متن کاملSubstrate docking to γ-secretase allows access of γ-secretase modulators to an allosteric site
γ-Secretase generates the peptides of Alzheimer's disease, Aβ(40) and Aβ(42), by cleaving the amyloid precursor protein within its transmembrane domain. γ-Secretase also cleaves numerous other substrates, raising concerns about γ-secretase inhibitor off-target effects. Another important class of drugs, γ-secretase modulators, alter the cleavage site of γ-secretase on amyloid precursor protein, ...

15 صفحه اولAllosteric regulation of γ-secretase activity by a phenylimidazole-type γ-secretase modulator.
γ-Secretase is an intramembrane-cleaving protease responsible for the generation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides. Recently, a series of compounds called γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) has been shown to decrease the levels of long toxic Aβ species (i.e., Aβ42), with a concomitant elevation of the production of shorter Aβ species. In this study, we show that a phenylimidazole-type GSM allosterically in...
متن کاملPresenilin/γ-Secretase and Inflammation
Presenilins (PS) are the catalytic components of gamma-secretase, an aspartyl protease that regulates through proteolytic processing the function of multiple signaling proteins. Specially relevant is the gamma-secretase-dependent cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) since generates the beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptides that aggregate and accumulate in the brain of Alzheimer's diseas...
