Abstract excerpt
The majority of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases are linked to mutations on presenilin 1 and 2 genes (PS1 and PS2). The normal function of the proteins and the mechanisms underlying early-onset AD are currently unknown. To address this, we screened an expression library for proteins that bind differentially to the wild-type PS1 and mutant in the large cytoplasmic loop (PS1L). Thus we isolated the...
