Abstract excerpt
A growing body of evidence indicates that presenilins could exist and be active as oligomeric complexes. Using yeast two-hybrid and cell culture analysis, we provide evidence that presenilin-1 (PS1) may self-oligomerize giving rise to specific full-length/full-length homodimers. When expressed in N2A and HEK239T cultured cells, full-length PS1-wt and 5(')myc-PS1-wt form specific homodimers corresponding to twice...
