Inhaltszusammenfassung
Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a critical component of the gamma-secretase complex, which is involved in the cleavage of several substrates including the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the Notch receptor. Recently, the low density receptor-related protein (LRP) has been shown to be cleaved by a gamma-secretase-like activity. We postulated that LRP may interact with PS1 and tested its role as a competitive substrate for gamma-secretase.

Recently, the low density receptor-related protein (LRP) has been shown to be cleaved by a gamma-secretase-like activity. We postulated that LRP may interact with PS1 and tested its role as a competitive substrate for gamma-secretase. In this report we show that LRP colocalizes and interacts with endogenous PS1 using coimmunoprecipitation and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. In addition, we found that gamma-secretase active site inhibitors do not disrupt the interaction between LRP and PS1, suggesting that the substrate associates with a gamma-secretase docking site located in close proximity to PS1. This is analogous to APP-gamma-secretase interactions. Finally, we show that LRP competes with APP for gamma-secretase activity. Overexpression of a truncated LRP construct consisting of the C terminus, the transmembrane domain, and a short extracellular portion leads to a reduction in the levels of the A beta(40), A beta(42), and p3 peptides without changing the total level of APP expression. In addition, transfection with the beta-chain of LRP causes an increase in uncleaved APP C-terminal fragments and a concomitant decrease in the signaling effects of the APP intracellular domain. In conclusion, LRP is a PS1 interactor and can compete with APP for gamma-secretase enzymatic activity.» weiterlesen» einklappen
