Dissecting conformational changes in APP's transmembrane domain linked to ε-efficiency in familial Alzheimer's disease.

The mechanism by which familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutations within the transmembrane domain (TMD) of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) affect ε-endoproteolysis is only poorly understood. Thereby, mutations in the cleavage domain reduce ε-efficiency of γ-secretase cleavage and some eve...
