Evaluación de la producción de b-amiloide por la mutación E280A en el gen de la presenilina 1
Introducción. La mutación E280A en el gen de presenilina 1 se encuentra asociada al grupo familiar más grande del mundo con enfermedad de Alzheimer. La presenilina 1 es un componente esencial del complejo g-secretasa, responsable de la producción del ...

Presenilin promotes dietary copper uptake. [PDF]
Dietary copper is essential for multicellular organisms. Copper is redox active and required as a cofactor for enzymes such as the antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1). Copper dyshomeostasis has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease.

Fatty acids increase presenilin-1 levels and γ-secretase activity in PSwt-1 cells
Presenilin-1 (PS1) is an important determinant of the γ-secretase activity necessary for the generation of β-amyloid (Aβ), likely the central pathogenic molecule in Alzheimer's disease.

Pen2 and Presenilin-1 Modulate the Dynamic Equilibrium of Presenilin-1 and Presenilin-2 γ-Secretase Complexes [PDF]
gamma-Secretase is known to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease through production of amyloidogenic Abeta42 peptides. Early onset familial Alzheimer disease mutations in presenilin (PS), the catalytic core of gamma-secretase, invariably increase the Abeta42:Abeta40 ratio.

Transcriptional Regulation of the Mouse Presenilin-1 Gene [PDF]
The presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene encodes at least three separate mRNA transcripts from its 12 exons, which are spread over 50 kilobase pairs of mouse DNA. The first transcript begins with exon 1A, whereas the other transcripts begin with exon 1B. Different portions of exon 1B are spliced to give long and short mRNAs.

Switched Aβ43 generation in familial Alzheimer’s disease with presenilin 1 mutation
Presenilin (PS) with a genetic mutation generates abundant β-amyloid protein (Aβ) 43. Senile plaques are formed by Aβ43 in the cerebral parenchyma together with Aβ42 at middle ages. These brains cause the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is

The ins and outs of presenilin 1 membrane topology [PDF]
Mutations of presenilin 1 (PS1) account for up to 60% of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) (1). Because PS1 is a polytopic membrane protein, deciphering its topology is crucial to understanding its important functions. Hydropathy analysis of the PS1 primary amino acid sequence identified 10 hydrophobic regions (HR) [see figure 1A of Dewji ...
