Conformational Models of APP Processing by Gamma Secretase Based on Analysis of Pathogenic Mutations
2021-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a critical role in pathogenesis of Azheimer’s disease (AD). Sequential cleavage of APP by β and γ secretases leads to generation of Aβ40 (non-amyloidogenic) and Aβ42 (amyloidogenic) peptides. Presenilin-1 (PS1) or presenilin-2 (PS2) pay a role of catalytic subunit of γ-secretase. Multiple familial AD (FAD) mutations in...
