Amyloid precursor protein mutation E682K at the alternative β-secretase cleavage β′-site increases Aβ generation†

BACE1 cleaves the amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the β-cleavage site (Met(671)–Asp(672)) to initiate the generation of amyloid peptide Aβ. BACE1 is also known to cleave APP at a much less well-characterized β′-cleavage site (Tyr(681)–Glu(682)). We describe here the identification of a novel APP...
