The dynamic conformational landscape of γ-secretase

The structure and function of the gamma-secretase proteases are of great interest because of their crucial roles in cellular and disease processes. We established a novel purification protocol for the gamma-secretase complex that involves a conformation- and complex-specific nanobody, yielding highly pure and active enzyme. Using single particle electron microscopy, we analyzed the gamma-secret...

Nicastrin: Gatekeeper of the γ-Secretase Complex

Platelets are formed by budding of cyto-plasm from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Although the splicing machinery is localized in the nucleus of megakaryocyte precursor cells, splicing factors begin to accumulate in the cytoplasm of mature mega-karyocytes. The splicing components together with specific partially spliced pre-mRNAs are included in the forming anucleate platelets. Upon stimula...

The γ-secretase inhibitors enhance the anti-leukemic activity of ibrutinib in B-CLL cells

Ibrutinib blocks B-cell receptor signaling and interferes with leukemic cell-to-microenvironment interactions. Ibrutinib plays a key role in the management of B-CLL and is recommended for first line treatment of high-risk CLL patients with 17p deletion. Therefore, elucidating the factors governing sensitivity/resistance to Ibrutinib represents a relevant issue. For this purpose, in 3 B-CLL pati...

Substrate 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, ...

Allosteric 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...
