Presenilin 1 is Actively Degraded by the 26S Proteasome
The metabolic pathways governing the turnover of presenilin 1 (PS1) have been incompletely worked out. The PS1 holoprotein has low abundance in many cells and appears to undergo endoproteolytic cleavage near residue 298. We provide evidence that one mechanism by which the PS1 holoprotein is degraded is through the action of the 26S proteasome.

ABSTRACT Statins, widely prescribed for cardiovascular prevention, have emerged as potential disease‐modifying agents in neurodegenerative disorders due to their pleiotropic effects on cholesterol metabolism, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and protein aggregation.

ABSTRACT Background Bipolar disorder (BD) is among the most heritable psychiatric disorders, with a genetic architecture likely consisting of both common genetic variants with small effects and rare variants with strong effects in certain families or populations.

To study the role of Aβ amyloid deposits in the generation of cytoskeletal lesions, we have generated a transgenic mouse line coexpressing in the same neurons a wild-type human tau isoform (0N3R), a mutant form of APP (751SL) and a mutant form of PS1 ...

Deletion of Robo4 worsens neuroinflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Declines in vascular integrity are potential contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) as these result in increased blood–brain barrier permeability and, consequently, accelerate neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment. Roundabout guidance receptor 4 (Robo4) is primarily expressed in endothelial cells and stabilizes the vasculature, thereby ...

APP-BP1 inhibits Aβ42 levels by interacting with Presenilin-1
Background The β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is sequentially cleaved by the β- and then γ-secretase to generate the amyloid β-peptides Aβ40 and Aβ42. Increased Aβ42/Aβ40 ratios trigger amyloid plaque formations in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The clinical utility of gene testing for Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the largest cause of dementia, affecting 35.6 million people in 2010. Amyloid precursor protein, presenilin 1 and presenilin 2 mutations are known to cause familial early-onset AD, whereas apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 is a ...
