Nicastrin functions to sterically hinder γ-secretase–substrate interactions driven by substrate transmembrane domain
Abstract
Significance: γ-Secretase is a conserved and ubiquitous intramembrane-cleaving protease (I-CLiP). Its normal function is required for proper notch signaling, and its processing of amyloid precursor protein is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Although γ-secretase has over 90 reported substrates, little is known about the mechanism by which γ-secretase recruits its substrates while at the same time distinguishing substrate from nonsubstrate within the protein-crowded environment of cellular membranes. In contrast to previous studies, our data demonstrate that substrate transmembrane domain drives its interaction with γ-secretase. We find that the γ-secretase component nicastrin acts to sterically block substrates with large ectodomains from interacting with γ-secretase, providing the mechanism by which γ-secretase selectively recruits ectodomain-shed substrates while also preventing cleavage of nonsubstrates.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Normally, the γ-secretase enzyme complex is autoinhibited, and this autoinhibition is removed when substrates are cleaved extracellularly, exposing the transmembrane domain for cleavage by γ-secretase.

From Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms Governing LDL Receptor Regulation (2025) · cites this paper as [103]
The Discussion (page unavailable) says nicastrin sterically blocks substrates with large ectodomains from entering the γ-secretase active site, explaining why ectodomain shedding is needed before cleavage. The paper supports the substrate-access mechanism, but does not say that shedding removes autoinhibition of the enzyme complex itself; its nicastrin gate remains in place. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
