Abstract excerpt
To investigate the significance of endoproteolytic processing of presenilin 2 (PS2) on its pathological function, we constructed PS2 cDNAs causing amino acid substitutions or deletions around the cleavage site. We found that a PS2 mutant (Del3) with a 20-amino acid deletion was not endoproteolytically processed, while other PS2s with amino acid substitutions and short deletions were cleaved. Overproduction of all...
