Abstract excerpt
Processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) leads to the production of amyloid-beta (Abeta), the major component of extracellular plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Presenilin-1 (PS-1) plays a key role in the final step of Abeta formation, the gamma-secretase cleavage. Previously, we showed that PS-1 is retained in pre-Golgi compartments by incorporation into COPI-coated membranes...
