Title: | Substrate interaction inhibits γ-secretase production of amyloid-β peptides |
Abstract: | Combining NMR, mass spectrometry, AlphaLISA and cell assays, we discovered a compound C1 that binds C-terminal juxtamembrane lysines at the transmembrane domain of the amyloid precursor protein (APPTM) and inhibits γ-secretase production of amyloid-β with μM IC50. Our work suggests that targeting APPTM is a novel and viable strategy in AD drug discovery. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry. |
