The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function NICA_HUMAN Essential subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, an endoprotease complex that catalyzes the intramembrane cleavage of integral membrane proteins such as Notch receptors and APP (beta-amyloid precursor protein). It probably represents a stabilizing cofactor required for the assembly of the gamma-secretase complex. Publication Abstract from PubMed Inhibition of gamma-secretase activity represents a potential therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). MRK-560 is a selective inhibitor with higher potency for Presenilin 1 (PS1) than for PS2, the two isoforms of the catalytic subunit of gamma-secretase, although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of PS1 and PS2-containing gamma-secretase complexes with and without MRK-560 at overall resolutions of 2.9-3.4 A. MRK-560 occupies the substrate binding site of PS1, but is invisible in PS2. Structural comparison identifies Thr281 and Leu282 in PS1 to be the determinant for isoform-dependent sensitivity to MRK-560, which is confirmed by swapping experiment between PS1 and PS2. By revealing the mechanism for isoform-selective inhibition of presenilin, our work may facilitate future drug discovery targeting gamma-secretase.
