Structure of γ-secretase (PSEN1/APH-1B) in complex with Aβ46 provides insights into amyloid-β processing and modulation by the APH-1B isoform

2023-09-09

Abstract excerpt

Deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Aβs are generated through sequential proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein by the γ-secretase complexes (GSECs). Aβ peptide length, which is modulated by the Presenilin (PSEN) and APH-1 subunits of GSEC, is critical for Alzheimer’s pathogenesis. Despite high relevance, mechanistic understanding of the proteolysis of Aβ,...
