Structural highlights
FunctionBACE1_HUMAN Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedWe describe the discovery and optimization of tertiary carbinamine derived inhibitors of the enzyme beta-secretase (BACE-1). These novel non-transition-state-derived ligands incorporate a single primary amine to interact with the catalytic aspartates of the target enzyme. Optimization of this series provided inhibitors with intrinsic and functional potency comparable to evolved transition state isostere derived inhibitors of BACE-1. Discovery of oxadiazoyl tertiary carbinamine inhibitors of beta-secretase (BACE-1).,Rajapakse HA, Nantermet PG, Selnick HG, Munshi S, McGaughey GB, Lindsley SR, Young MB, Lai MT, Espeseth AS, Shi XP, Colussi D, Pietrak B, Crouthamel MC, Tugusheva K, Huang Q, Xu M, Simon AJ, Kuo L, Hazuda DJ, Graham S, Vacca JP J Med Chem. 2006 Dec 14;49(25):7270-3.
