Perturbations of the Straight Transmembrane α-Helical Structure of the Amyloid Precursor Protein Affect Its Processing by γ-Secretase

The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a widely expressed type I transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein present at the neuronal synapse. The proteolytic cleavage by γ-secretase of its C-terminal fragment produces amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides of different lengths, the deposition of which is an early indicator of...
