Abstract excerpt
The presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase activity, which is responsible for the generation of amyloid beta-peptide, is a high molecular weight complex composed of at least four components, namely, presenilin-1 (or presenilin-2), nicastrin, Aph-1, and Pen-2. Previous data indicated that presenilins, which are thought to harbor the catalytic core of the complex, also control p53-dependent cell death. Whether the...
