The extreme C terminus of presenilin 1 is essential for gamma-secretase complex assembly and activity.
The gamma-secretase complex catalyzes the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein in its transmembrane domain resulting in the formation of the amyloid beta-peptide and the cytoplasmic APP intracellular domain. The active gamma-secretase complex is composed of at least four subunits: presenilin (PS), nicastrin, Aph-1, and Pen-2, where the presence of all components is critically required for ...
متن کاملThe C terminus of YopT is crucial for activity and the N terminus is crucial for substrate binding.
Recently, it was shown that Yersinia outer protein T (YopT) belongs to a new family of cysteine proteases containing invariant C, H, and D residues that are crucial for its activity. YopT cleaves RhoA, Rac, and Cdc42 at their C termini, thereby releasing them from the membrane. Moreover, YopT inhibits the Rho-rhotekin and Rho-guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor interactions. To characteri...
متن کاملA Sensitive Neutralization Assay for Influenza C Viruses Based on the Acetylesterase Activity HEF Glycoprotein
Influenza C virus possesses specific neuraminate-O-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. This enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein HEF (Hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. Hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized HEF protein is detectable. We further developed the estera...
متن کاملThe L-Type Calcium Channel C Terminus Autoregulates Transcription
Calcium homeostasis is critical for cardiac myocyte function and must be tightly regulated. The guiding hypothesis of this study is that a carboxyl-terminal cleavage product of the cardiac L-type calcium channel (CaV1.2) autoregulates expression. First, we confirmed that the CaV1.2 C terminus (CCt) is cleaved in murine cardiac myocytes from mature and developing ventricle. Overexpression of ful...
متن کاملRole of the phagosomal redox-sensitive TRP channel TRPM2 in regulating bactericidal activity of macrophages.
Acidification of macrophage phagosomes serves an important bactericidal function. We show here that the redox-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel TRPM2 is expressed in the phagosomal membrane and regulates macrophage bactericidal activity through the activation of phagosomal acidification. Measurement of the TRPM2 current in phagosomes identified TRPM2 as a functional re...
