Intramembrane cleavage of TREM2 is determined by its intrinsic structural dynamics
2019-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Sequence variants of the microglial expressed TREM2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) are a major risk factor for late onset Alzheimer’s disease. TREM2 requires a stable interaction with DAP12 in the membrane to initiate signaling, which is terminated by TREM2 ectodomain shedding and subsequent intramembrane cleavage by γ-secretase. To understand the structural basis for the specificity of the int...
