| Abstract | γ-Secretase generates amyloid ß-protein (Aß), a pathogenic molecule in Alzheimer disease, through the intramembrane cleavage of the ß-carboxyl-terminal fragment (ßCTF) of ß-amyloid precursor protein. We previously showed the framework of the γ-secretase cleavage, i.e. the stepwise successive processing of ßCTF at every three (or four) amino acids. However, the membrane integrity of γ-secretase was not taken into consideration because of the use of the 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid-solubilized reconstituted γ-secretase system. Here, we sought to address how the membrane-integrated γ-secretase cleaves ßCTF by using γ-secretase associated with lipid rafts. Quantitative analyses using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry of the ßCTF transmembrane domain-derived peptides released along with Aß generation revealed that the raft-associated γ-secretase cleaves ßCTF in a stepwise sequential manner, but novel penta- and hexapeptides as well as tri- and tetrapeptides are released. The cropping of these peptides links the two major tripeptide-cleaving pathways generating Aß40 and Aß42 at several points, implying that there are multiple interactive pathways for the stepwise cleavages of ßCTF. It should be noted that Aß38 and Aß43 are generated through three routes, and γ-secretase modulator 1 enhances all the three routes generating Aß38, which results in decreases in Aß42 and Aß43 and an increase in Aß38. These observations indicate that multiple interactive pathways for stepwise successive processing by γ-secretase define the species and quantity of Aß produced. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
