Transcriptional Regulation of APH-1A and PEN-2, Two Key Components of γ-secretase Complex

Abstract

PS/γ-分泌酶负责老年痴呆症相关蛋白β淀粉样蛋白前体蛋白(APP)、信号转导受体Notch和其他I型跨膜蛋白的剪切,其组成单位至少有四种:presenilins(PS,包括PS1和PS2)、nicastrin(NCT)、APH-1和PEN-2。尽管人们对这四种组分在蛋白质水平上的有机的相互调解作用已经有所了解,但是,关于它们的转录调控却只知之甚少。在这项研究中,我们克隆了PEN-2和APH-1A两种基因启动子区,并通过荧光素酶活性分析鉴定了这两种基因启动活性必需的最小启动子区。序列分析表明,在这些区域存在许多潜在的转录因子的结合位点。点突变和胶迁移实验揭示AP4和HIF-1结合到APH-1A...The intramembrane proteolytic cleavages of Alzheimer’s b-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and signaling receptor Notch are mediated by the PS/g-secretase complex, which comprises of presenilins (PS, including PS1 and PS2), nicastrin (NCT), APH-1 and PEN-2. Although the four components have been shown to coordinately regulate each other at the protein level, information regarding their transcription...学位:理学博士院系专业:生命科学学院生物医学科学系_细胞生物学学号:B20042602
