Abstract excerpt
Although it has been established that oxidative stress mediates cytotoxicity by familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD)-linked mutants of presenilin (PS)1 and that pertussis toxin inhibits cytotoxicity by FAD-linked N141I-PS2, it has not been determined whether oxidative stress is involved in cytotoxicity by N141I-PS2 or which pertussis toxin-sensitive proteins mediate the cytotoxicity. Here we report that low...
