Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Presenilin 1 facilitates the constitutive turnover of beta-catenin: differential activity of Alzheimer's disease-linked PS1 mutants in the beta-catenin-signaling pathway.
- Recombinant adenovirus is an appropriate vector for endocytotic protein trafficking studies in cultured neurons.
- Mutagenesis identifies new signals for beta-amyloid precursor protein endocytosis, turnover, and the generation of secreted fragments, including Abeta42.
- Amyloid diseases: abnormal protein aggregation in neurodegeneration.
- Expression of beta-amyloid precursor protein-CD3gamma chimeras to demonstrate the selective generation of amyloid beta(1-40) and amyloid beta(1-42) peptides within secretory and endocytic compartments.
- A second cytotoxic proteolytic peptide derived from amyloid beta-protein precursor.
- The nonconserved hydrophilic loop domain of presenilin (PS) is not required for PS endoproteolysis or enhanced abeta 42 production mediated by familial early onset Alzheimer's disease-linked PS variants.
- LDL receptor-related protein (LRP) in Alzheimer's disease: towards a unified theory of pathogenesis.
- Modulation of amyloid beta-protein clearance and Alzheimer's disease susceptibility by the LDL receptor-related protein pathway.
- Presenilin 1 negatively regulates beta-catenin/T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor-1 signaling independently of beta-amyloid precursor protein and notch processing.
- The amyloidogenic pathway of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is independent of its cleavage by caspases.
- Loss of presenilin 1 is associated with enhanced beta-catenin signaling and skin tumorigenesis.
- A subset of NSAIDs lower amyloidogenic Abeta42 independently of cyclooxygenase activity.
- The aspartate-257 of presenilin 1 is indispensable for mouse development and production of beta-amyloid peptides through beta-catenin-independent mechanisms.
- Caspase cleavage of members of the amyloid precursor family of proteins.
