The amyloid-β precursor protein: integrating structure with biological function

TL;DR: The different subdomains of APP are studied in detail and functional significance is assigned to particular structures identified in the protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

The amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cytoplasmic fragment generated by gamma-secretase is rapidly degraded but distributes partially in a nuclear fraction of neurones in culture.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that APP‐C59 is rapidly degraded when overexpressed in baby hamster kidney cells or primary cultures of neurones by a mechanism that is not inhibited by endosomal/lysosomal or proteasome inhibitors, and it is suggested that the APP intracellular domain could have a role in signalling events from the plasma membrane to the nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons from a Failed γ-Secretase Alzheimer Trial

TL;DR: Analysis of available information presented here demonstrates significant confounds for interpreting the outcome of the trial and argues that the major lessons pertain to broad knowledge gaps that are imperative to fill.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presenilin couples the paired phosphorylation of β-catenin independent of axin: Implications for β-catenin activation in tumorigenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that presenilin functions as a scaffold that rapidly couples beta-catenin phosphorylation through two sequential kinase activities independent of the Wnt-regulated Axin/CK1alpha complex, and results in increased beta-Catenin stability in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-coding RNAs with essential roles in neurodegenerative disorders

TL;DR: Advances in understanding of the function of ncRNAs in the CNS are discussed, with a focus on the potential involvement of specific species, such as microRNAs, endogenous small interfering RNAs, long intergenic non-coding RNas, and natural antisense transcripts, in various neurodegenerative disorders.
