Abstract

γ-Secretase is a membrane-associated protease that cleaves within the transmembrane region of amyloid precursor protein to generate the C termini of the two Aβ peptide isoforms, Aβ40 and Aβ42. Here we report the detergent solubilization and partial characterization of γ-secretase. The activity of solubilized γ-secretase was measured with a recombinant substrate, C100Flag, consisting largely of the C-terminal fragment of amyloid precursor protein downstream of the β-secretase cleavage site. Cleavage of C100Flag by γ-secretase was detected by electrochemiluminescence using antibodies that specifically recognize the Aβ40 or Aβ42 termini. Incubation of C100Flag with HeLa cell membranes or detergent-solubilized HeLa cell membranes generates both the Aβ40 and Aβ42 termini. Recovery of catalytically competent, soluble γ-secretase critically depends on the choice of detergent; CHAPSO (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate) but not Triton X-100 is suitable. Solubilized γ-secretase activity is inhibited by pepstatin and more potently by a novel aspartyl protease transition-state analog inhibitor that blocks formation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in mammalian cells. Upon gel exclusion chromatography, solubilized γ-secretase activity coelutes with presenilin 1 (PS1) at an apparent relative molecular weight of approximately 2.0 × 10 6 . Anti-PS1 antibody immunoprecipitates γ-secretase activity from the solubilized γ-secretase preparation. These data suggest that γ-secretase activity is catalyzed by a PS1-containing macromolecular complex.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
