The mechanisms of regulated α-secretase cleavage were thoroughly examined in two excellent companion posters from Virginia Lee’s lab...
At times the scene around this poster (240.11) was more like a football scrimmage or a rugby scrum than the normally genteel atmosphere associated with a scientific event...
Janet Johnston (240.16) presented a detailed study of the effect of proteasome and prolendopeptidase (PEP) inhibitors on Aβ production by SH SY 5Y human neuroblastoma cells stably transfected with SPA4CT (C99)...
Sukanto Sinha, departing from his abstract (122.1), described the purification and partial characterization of a novel 501 amino acid long aspartyl protease, The data were entirely consistent with the...
Just when it appeared as though the mechanisms of the proteolytic processing of APP were finally becoming apparent, Andreas Weidemann presented an elegant study demonstrating the existence of a different processing event...
Using difluoroketone peptidomimetics previously shown to reversibly inhibit γ-secretase activity in CHO cells, Michael Wolfe reported that increasing the bulkiness of the P1 substituent...
In testing the hypothesis that unscheduled cell death may alter APP processing, Andrea Le Blanc (122.4) provided compelling evidence that caspase 6 can directly cleave APP...
Recent studies have demonstrated that wild-type APP can protect against p53 mediated apoptosis, whereas FAD mutant APP (FADAPP) cannot. N3 rat neuroblastoma cells which are deficient in APP were transfected with wtAPP or FADAPP...
Yamin (122.9) presented evidence that the zinc metalloproteinase EC 3.4.24.15 (E24.15) plays a role in neuronal mediated degradation of Aβ...
Several groups have reported a lack of phenotype in α-synuclein (α-S) transgenic mice, but it appears Lennart Mucke (122.10) has got it right...
Previous studies on the purification and characterization of the predominant extracellular Aβ degrading activity in the murine BV-2 microglial cell line demonstrated that insulin-degrading enzyme...
The N- and C-terminals of synthetic Aβ1-42 were differentially labeled with 3H and 14C and then used as a probe to measure degradation by injection into rat hippocampus...
That β-amyloid plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is doubted by few investigators. However, pinning down the exact contribution amyloid makes has been remarkably difficult to accomplish...
James Bamburg presented a poster (Abstract 2821) on the formation of cellular inclusions composed of actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) and the cofilin family of proteins (collectively known as AC) and of their putative involvement in neurodegeneration...
At the Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, San Juan, Puerto Rico, the speakers discussed the sequence of changes in gene expression in the brain that may take place during the transition from normal...
