Abstract excerpt
gamma-Secretase is a lipid-embedded, intramembrane-cleaving aspartyl protease that cleaves its substrates twice within their transmembrane domains (TMD): once near the cytosolic leaflet (at S3/epsilon) and again in the middle of the TMD (at S4/gamma). To address whether this unusual process occurs in two independent or interdependent steps, we investigated how mutations at the S3/epsilon site in Notch1-based...
