High impact information on Bace1

  • Using nondenaturating immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting procedures, other endosomal aspartic acid proteases such as cathepsin E and beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme (BACE) were ruled out as candidate enzymes for the endosomal degradation of internalized insulin [1].
  • Directed mutagenesis of GATA-1 elements led to altered luciferase expression, indicating that these sites are involved in the regulation of BACE1 transcription [2].
  • By capillary LC-MS and tandem MS, we show that, in approximately one third of the Calpha and Cbeta enzyme populations from cattle, pig, rabbit, and rat striated muscle, Asn 2 is deamidated to Asp 2 [3].
  • Asp2, Trp4 and the C-terminal glycinamide have been challenged by classical amino acid substitutions with the aim of elucidating the structural requirements responsible for NK2 subtype selectivity [4].
  • Although JMV-180 differs from CCK-8 by having an Asp-2 phenylethylester, rather than an Asp-phenylalanine amide, it is unlikely that these differences in the carboxyl terminus are important in determining which second-messenger systems will be activated [5].
