Because of the importance their physiological functions, cell membranes represent critical targets in biological research. Membrane proteins, which make up approximately 1/3 proteome, interact with a wide range small ligands and macromolecular partners as well foreign molecules such synthetic drugs, antibodies, toxins, or surface recognition proteins pathogenic organisms. Whether it is for sake basic biomedical pharmacological research, great interest to develop tools facilitating study...
Intramembrane-cleaving proteases (I-CLiPs) play crucial roles in physiological and pathological processes, such as Alzheimer's disease cancer. However, the mechanisms of substrate recognition by I-CLiPs remain poorly understood. The aspartic I-CLiP presenilin is catalytic subunit γ-secretase complex, which releases amyloid-β peptides (Aβs) through intramembrane proteolysis transmembrane domain amyloid precursor protein (APPTM). Here we used solution NMR to probe docking APPTM homologs (PSHs)...
