Research Abstract |
In this study, we searched for γ-secretase interacting proteins using proteomic analysis, and screened for proteins that affected either enzymatic activity or subcellular localization ofγ-secretase. As a result, we identified tetraspanins and tetraspanin-associated proteins that have been known to form the lipid microdomain in the cellular membranes (called tetraspanin web or TEM). We found the possibility that tetraspanins and tetraspanin-associated proteins provide a platform for γ-secretase cleavage and regulate its enzymatic activity.
