Deposition of amyloid β peptides(Aβ) as senile plaques(SP) and cerebrovascular amyloid characterizes the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease(AD). Mutations in presenilin(i. e., PS1 and PS2) genes linked to familial AD(FAD) increase production and secretion of Aβ42,an initially and predominantly depositing Aβ species in all types of AD. PS are involved in theγ-secretase cleavage of a subset of single-pass membrane proteins includingβ-amyloid precursor protein and Notch.γ-secretase activity requires the formation of a highly stable, high molecular weight(HMW) protein complex comprised of PS and other co-factor membrane proteins. APH-1, a homologue of a recently identified Notch pathway member in Caenorabditis elegans,is required forγ-secretase activity to generate amyloid β peptides(Aβ). Overexpression of APH-1, together with nicastrin(NCT) dramatically increases the stabilization of PS holoproteins that are incorporated into a HMW protein complex. Inactivation of PEN-2, another cofactor of PS, abrogates accumulation of PS fragments but promotes stabilization of Psn holoprotein. Co-expression of PS, NCT, APH-1 and PEN-2 increases the formation of PS fragments as well asγ-secretase activity to generate Aβ. These data illustrate the differential roles of PS cofactors in PS complex formation, APH-1 as the stabilizing co-factor of PS and PEN-2 as a factor conferringγ-secretase activities and facilitating the formation of PS fragments.
