Presenilins mediate efficient proteolysis via the autophagosome-lysosome system.

Abstract excerpt

Degradation through the lysosome involves careful orchestration of numerous molecular players in concert. Many of these key molecular players remain to be identified. We find that wild-type presenilins play a key role in degradation through the autophagy-lysosome system by modulating either fusion of autophagosomes to lysosomes or lysosome function.
