Abstract
Amyloid-β proteins deposition and aggregation occur in extracellular space and form neuritic plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1)/ β-secretase and γ-secretase Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) conduct sequential cleavage of amyloid- β precursor protein (APP) and yield amyloid- β proteins. However the details of the interactions of APP with the enzymes and transportation of catalytic products are unclear. Here we reveal distinctive targeting patterns of the proteins in subcellular organelles in N2A cells. We find all three proteins co-localize in endosomes with APP and PSEN1 co-localize and associate on cell membrane and nucleus. By selectively knocking down BACE1 or PSEN 1 with siRNA, we discover that BACE1 functions as the enzyme initiating the first cleavage step and serves a scaffold for APP and PSEN1 endocytosis. PSEN1 knocking-down only leads to the reduction of BACE1 in cell membrane and nucleus. We conclude that BACE1 facilitates the transportation of APP and formation of the complex with γ-secretase, resulting in the stepwise cleavages of APP. After BACE1 cleavage APP binds to PSEN1 and transfers to cell membrane or nucleus for final processing and amyloid genesis.

Abstract
The recent proposed criteria for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) have strongly claimed the usefulness of biological and neuroimaging markers for early identification AD. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Tau/Abeta ratio, hippocampal atrophy, posterior cingulate, and neocortical associative area hypometabolism, or amyloid burden evaluated by PiB compound, held the premises to increase diagnostic accuracy in the preclinical disease stages. Despite many efforts to identify subjects at risk of developing AD, less attention has been paid to presenile AD diagnosis. A few data are already available in early onset AD, mainly obtained in cases of monogenic disorder. In this paper, we discuss the current literature on the role of biological and neuroimaging markers in presenile AD.

Abstract
The proteolytic processing of amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) has long been studied because of its association with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The ectodomain of APP is shed by alpha- or beta-secretase cleavage. The remaining membrane bound stub can then undergo regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) by gamma-secretase. This cleavage can release amyloid beta (Abeta) from the stub left by beta-secretase cleavage but also releases the APP intracellular domain (AICD) after alpha- or beta-secretase cleavage. The physiological functions of this proteolytic processing are not well understood. We compare the proteolytic processing of APP to the ligand-dependent RIP of Notch. In this review, we discuss recent evidence suggesting that TAG1 is a functional ligand for APP. The interaction between TAG1 and APP triggers gamma-secretase-dependent release of AICD. TAG1, APP and Fe65 colocalise in the neurogenic ventricular zone and in fetal neural progenitor cells in vitro. Experiments in TAG1, APP and Fe65 null mice as well as TAG1 and APP double-null mice demonstrate that TAG1 induces a gamma-secretase- and Fe65-dependent suppression of neurogenesis.

Abstract
The rhomboid gene was discovered in Drosophila, where it encodes a seven transmembrane protein that is the signal-generating component of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signaling during development. Although metazoan developmental regulators are rarely conserved outside the animal kingdom, rhomboid proteins are conserved in all kingdoms of life, but the significance of this remains unclear. Recent biochemical reconstitution and high-resolution crystal structures have provided proof that rhomboid proteins function as novel intramembrane proteases, with a serine protease-like catalytic apparatus embedded within the membrane bilayer, buried in a hydrophilic cavity formed by a protein ring. A thorough consideration of all known examples of rhomboid function suggests that, despite biochemical similarity in mechanism and specificity, rhomboid proteins function in diverse processes including quorum sensing in bacteria, mitochondrial membrane fusion, apoptosis, and stem cell differentiation in eukaryotes; rhomboid proteins are also now starting to be linked to human disease, including early-onset blindness, diabetes, and parasitic diseases. Regulating cell signaling is at the heart of rhomboid protein function in many, but not all, of these processes. Further study of these novel enzymes promises to reveal the evolutionary path of rhomboid protein function, which could provide insights into the forces that drive the molecular evolution of regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
Presenilin-dependent intramembranous proteolysis mediates the dual cleavage of the Notch-1 protein (S4 and S3) as well as the beta amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) (gamma40 and epsilon-site). betaAPP has a valine residue just before the gamma40 (amyloid beta [Abeta] numbering) site and after the epsilon-site. Both gamma40 and epsilon have multiple cleavage sites, and the varieties of gamma40 cleavage are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). These lines of evidence suggest that valine plays a role in the intramembranous proteolysis. S4 cleavage in the middle of the Notch-1 transmembrane domain (TMD) corresponds to the gamma40 cleavage of betaAPP. The cleavage site is in the center of four sequential alanine residues between Ala1731 and Ala1732, neither of which has a valine residue. To investigate the effects of valine on presenilin-dependent intramembranous proteolysis, we replaced the transmembrane domain residue of Notch-1 with valine and analyzed the efficiency and precision at S4 and S3. We observed that all valine-mutated Notch-1 proteins have a dominant cleavage site (S4) between Ala1731 and Ala1732 with some variations of cleavage precision, suggesting that valine is not indispensable for determining the cleavage site of the Notch-1 transmembrane domain, but affects the efficiency and precision at S4 cleavage of the Notch-1 transmembrane domain.

Abstract
As an essential protease in the generation of amyloid beta, gamma-secretase is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Although a great deal of progress has been made in identifying the components of gamma-secretase complex, the endogenous regulatory mechanism of gamma-secretase is unknown. Here we show that gamma-secretase is endogenously regulated via extracellular signal regulated MAP kinase (ERK) 1/2-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The inhibition of ERK1/2 activity, either by a treatment with a MEK inhibitor or an ERK knockdown transfection, dramatically increased gamma-secretase activity in several different cell types. JNK or p38 kinase inhibitors had little effect, indicating that the effect is specific to ERK1/2-dependent MAPK pathway. Conversely, increased ERK1/2 activity, by adding purified active ERK1/2 or EGF-induced activation of ERK1/2, significantly reduced gamma-secretase activity, demonstrating down-regulation of gamma-secretase activity by ERK1/2. Whereas gamma-secretase expression was not affected by ERK1/2, its activity was enhanced by phosphatase treatment, indicating that ERK1/2 regulates gamma-secretase activity by altering the pattern of phophorylation. Among the components of isolated gamma-secretase complex, only nicastrin was phosphorylated by ERK1/2, and it precipitated with ERK1/2 in a co-immunoprecipitation assay, which suggests binding between ERK1/2 and nicastrin. Our results show that ERK1/2 is an endogenous regulator of gamma-secretase, which raises the possibility that ERK1/2 down-regulates gamma-secretase activity by directly phosphorylating nicastrin.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now thought to be tightly linked to Abeta deposition and oxidative stress, but it is still unknown how these factors result in neuronal dysfunction and cell death. Mutations of presenilin 1 (PS1) gene are the causative gene for early onset familial AD (FAD) due to the overproduction and deposition of pathogenic Abeta1-42 peptides. We report here the molecular influences of the overexpression of PS1 protein by stable transfection of PS1 cDNA into SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells on the function of high affinity nerve growth factor receptor, Trk, that is essential for neuronal survival and differentiation. We examined the sensitivity of these transfectants to oxidative stress and found that mutant (I143T) PS1-expressing clones showed the highest vulnerability to an oxidative stress inducer, hydrogen peroxide treatment compared with that of mock-transfected clones, whereas wild PS1-expressing cells were less vulnerable to the treatment than mutant PS1 transfectants. Because nerve growth factor (NGF) is known to protect neuronal cells from oxidative stress-induced cell death, we examined the NGF-Trk-mediated intracellular signaling pathway in these transfectants. In the wild and mutant PS1 cDNA-transfected cells, NGF did not elicit the autophosphorylation response of Trk, although their basal levels of tyrosine phosphorylation were higher than those of mock-transfected cells. Immunocytochemical and subcellular fractionation studies revealed that most of Trk proteins are abnormally located in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus in PS1-overexpressing clones irrespective of wild and mutant forms. These results strongly indicate that the expression level of PS1 protein has a cross talk with the Trk-dependent neuroprotective intracellular signaling pathway.

Abstract
Site-specific proteolysis of the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) by BACE 1 and gamma-secretase, a central event in Alzheimer disease, releases a large secreted extracellular fragment (called APP(S)), peptides of 40-43 residues derived from extracellular and transmembrane sequences (Abeta), and a short intracellular fragment (APP intracellular domain) that may function as a transcriptional activator in a complex with the adaptor protein Fe65 and the nuclear protein Tip60. APP is closely related to APP-like protein (APLP) 1 and APLP2, but only APP is known to be cleaved by BACE 1 and to be involved in Alzheimer disease. We now demonstrate that similar to APP, APLP1 and APLP2 are also cleaved by BACE 1 but not by ADAM 9, another APP protease, and also transactivate nuclear Tip60 in a complex with Fe65. Paradoxically, although BACE 1 cleavage appears to be specific for APP and APLPs, their cleavage sequences exhibit no homology, and a short sequence (7 amino acids) from APP that when placed close to the membrane converts a membrane protein that is normally not cleaved by BACE 1 into a BACE 1 substrate. Our data demonstrate that APLPs and APP are processed similarly to act via the same nuclear target, suggesting that BACE 1 cleavage regulates a common function of APP and APLPs in neurons.

Abstract
Mutations in the presenilin proteins (PS1 and PS2) are responsible for more than 70% of the cases of the familial form of Alzheimer's disease (FAD). The proteins are expressed in the cell at a low level, primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum and cis Golgi, where they have been proposed to play a role in protein processing. As protein glycosylation is a key post-translational event that occurs within the Golgi, we have investigated the effect of altered PS1 expression levels on the protein glycosylation pattern using the SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line. In cells over-expressing either the wild type or mutant (M146L) PS1-FAD proteins, there was a decrease in the expression levels of protein-bound alpha2,3-linked sialic acid residues at the level of the cell membrane. This was particularly manifest as a significant decrease in the expression of the polysialic acid chain that is linked to the core oligosaccharide of the neural cell adhesion molecule in an alpha2,3 bond. These results suggest that the over-expression of either the wild type or mutant PS1 disturbs glycoprotein processing within the Golgi.

Abstract
The members of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family are cell surface molecules with diverse functions in cellular metabolism. All LDLR family members are endocytic receptors that mediate the uptake of extracellular cargo into the cell; recent research indicates that they also participate directly in signal transduction. Regulated proteolytic release of the intracellular domain of one of these lipoprotein receptors, the LDLR-related protein 1 (LRP1), has been described, along with the possible role of the released domain in transcriptional regulation. A recent study suggests that megalin, a member of the LDLR gene family that mediates the cellular uptake of vitamin D carrier protein, may also modulate vitamin D-related gene transcription through sequestration of a component of the vitamin D receptor transcriptional complex. May et al. discuss this research in the context of the integration of endocytosis and signaling by this receptor family.

Abstract
Approximately half of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases that are associated with early onset appear to be transmitted as a pure genetic, autosomal dominant trait. Genetic analyses of these pedigrees have found three causal genes: betaAPP, presenilin 1 (PS1), and presenilin 2 (PS2). This review provides an update on the pathological consequences of mutations in early-onset AD genes, the phenotypic heterogeneity of those cases, and future directions for research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Following ectodomain shedding, Notch-1 undergoes presenilin (PS)-dependent constitutive intramembranous endoproteolysis at site-3. This cleavage is similar to the PS-dependent gamma-secretase cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP). However, topological differences in cleavage resulting in amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) or the Notch-1 intracellular domain (NICD) indicated independent mechanisms of proteolytic cleavage. We now demonstrate the secretion of an N-terminal Notch-1 Abeta-like fragment (Nbeta). Analysis of Nbeta by MALDI-TOF MS revealed that Nbeta is cleaved at a novel site (site-4, S4) near the middle of the transmembrane domain. Like the corresponding cleavage of betaAPP at position 40 and 42 of the Abeta domain, S4 cleavage is PS dependent. The precision of this cleavage is affected by familial Alzheimer's disease-associated PS1 mutations similar to the pathological endoproteolysis of betaAPP. Considering these similarities between intramembranous processing of Notch and betaAPP, we conclude that these proteins are cleaved by a common mechanism utilizing the same protease, i.e. PS/gamma-secretase.

Abstract
Defining the molecular mechanisms that integrate diverse signaling pathways at the level of gene transcription remains a central issue in biology. Here, we demonstrate that interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) causes nuclear export of a specific N-CoR corepressor complex, resulting in derepression of a specific subset of NF-kappaB-regulated genes, exemplified by the tetraspanin KAI1 that regulates membrane receptor function. Nuclear export of the N-CoR/TAB2/HDAC3 complex by IL-1beta is temporally linked to selective recruitment of a Tip60 coactivator complex. Surprisingly, KAI1 is also directly activated by a ternary complex, dependent on the acetyltransferase activity of Tip60, consisting of the presenilin-dependent C-terminal cleavage product of the amyloid beta precursor protein (APP), Fe65, and Tip60, identifying a specific in vivo gene target of an APP-dependent transcription complex in the brain.
