Journal ArticleDOI

The disintegrin/metalloprotease ADAM 10 is essential for Notch signalling but not for alpha-secretase activity in fibroblasts.

TL;DR: Results indicate that either a regulation between ADAMs on the post-translational level or that other, not yet known, proteases are able to compensate for ADAM 10 deficiency, and points to the existence of tissue-specific 'teams' of different proteases exerting alpha-secretase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presenilins form ER Ca2+ leak channels, a function disrupted by familial Alzheimer's disease-linked mutations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that wild-type presenilins, but not PS1-M146V and PS2-N141I FAD mutants, can form low-conductance divalent-cation-permeable ion channels in planar lipid bilayers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total inactivation of gamma-secretase activity in presenilin-deficient embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: The question of how proteins such as the β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP), Notch-1 and others can be cleaved in the plane of the membrane has challenged cell biologists and researchers into Alzheimer’s disease for some time and γ-secretase activity is considered an important therapeutic target.
