The neuronal sortilin-related receptor SORL1 is genetically associated with Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: It is reported here that inherited variants in the SORL1 neuronal sorting receptor are associated with late-onset Alzheimer disease, and it is shown that SOR l1 directs trafficking of APP into recycling pathways and that when SORl1 is underexpressed, APP is sorted into Aβ-generating compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Both the sequence and length of the C terminus of PEN-2 are critical for intermolecular interactions and function of presenilin complexes.

TL;DR: Deletion and mutagenesis studies suggest that both the presence and amino acid sequence of the conserved DYLSF domain at the C terminus of PEN-2 (residues 90–94) is critical for binding P EN-2 to other components in the presenilin complex and the overall length of the exposed C termini is criticalFor functional γ-secretase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization and trafficking of endogenous anterior pharynx-defective 1, a component of Alzheimer's disease related γ-secretase

TL;DR: Fractionation and immunofluorescence studies indicated that the endogenous full-length Aph-1aL isoform localizes primarily to the endoplasmic reticulum as well as Golgi intermediate compartment, but small amount of it was detected at Golgi apparatus where most of its carboxyl terminal domain fragment existed.
