Abstract excerpt
beta-Secretase (BACE) carries out the first of two proteolysis steps to generate the amyloid-beta peptides that accumulate in the senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Because most BACE activity occurs in endosomes, signals regulating its trafficking to these compartments are important to an understanding of AD pathogenesis. A DISLL sequence near the BACE C-terminus mediates binding of BACE to the VHS...
