In this issue of Structure, Tang and colleagues probe how the Flemish mutation in amyloid precursor protein (APP) affects its conformation and cleavage by γ-secretase. They provide molecular insight into how an extracellular inhibitory element and cholesterol interactions affect the generation of Aβ peptides.
在本期《结构》杂志中,唐及其同事探究了淀粉样前体蛋白(APP)中的佛兰芒突变如何影响其构象以及被γ-分泌酶切割的过程。他们提供了关于细胞外抑制元件和胆固醇相互作用如何影响Aβ肽生成的分子见解。
