presenilin-1; PS-1; EC=3.4.23.-; protein S182; contains: presenilin-1 NTF subunit; contains: presenilin-1 CTF subunit; contains: presenilin-1 CTF12; PS1-CTF12 (PSEN1, AD3, PS1, PSNL1)
Function:
- putative catalytic subunit of APP-gamma-secretase
- PS1 colocalizes with APP-gamma-secretase activity [12], along with nicastrin, pen-2 & APH1
- presenilins control proteolysis of APP, APLP-1 & Notch [8]
- Notch-1 is thought to be the physiologic substrate of PS1
- PS1 is first synthesized as a zymogen, then becomes active after being cleaved. (see proteolytic site {line drawing})
- p53 & p21WAF1 inhibit presenilin-1 expression & leads to apoptosis & tumor suppression [5]
- alternate cleavage forms of PS-1 & 2 by a caspase-3 family protease occurs during apoptosis [6]
- PS1 interacts (coprecipitates) with beta-catenin & gamma-catenin
- PS1 complexes with protein kinase A & GSK3 to phosphorylate beta-catenin such that it interacts with beta-TRCP & becomes ubiquinated & degraded; this is similar to the APC/axin/CSNK1A1/GSK3 complex in the wnt1 signalling pathway, however the presenilin complex is not affected by wnt1 [22]
- cadherins, calsenilin, DOCK3, PARL, KCNIP4 also interact with PS1
- may play a role in intracellular signaling & gene expression or in linking chromatin to the nuclear membrane
- stimulates cell-cell adhesion though its association with the E-cadherin/catenin complex
- under conditions of apoptosis or Ca+2 influx, cleaves E-cadherin promoting disassembly of the E-cadherin/catenin complex & increasing the pool of cytoplasmic beta-catenin, thus negatively regulating Wnt signaling
- may also play a role in hematopoiesis
- heterogeneous proteolytic processing generates N-terminal (NTF) & C-terminal (CTF) fragments of approximately 35 & 20 kDa, respectively. during apoptosis, the C-terminal fragment (CTF) is further cleaved by caspase-3 to produce the fragment, PS1-CTF12
- after endoproteolysis, the C-terminal fragment (CTF) is phosphorylated on Ser by PKA &/or PKC
- phosphorylation on Ser-346 inhibits endoproteolysis
- homodimer
- associates with proteolytic processed C-terminal fragments C83 & C99 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP)
- associates with NOTCH1
- component of cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes through direct binding to CDH1 or CDH2
- interaction with CDH1 stabilizes the complex & stimulates cell-cell aggregation
- interaction with CDH2 is essential for trafficking of CDH2 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane
- interacts with CTNND2, CTNNB1, HERPUD1, FLNA, FLNB, MTCH1, PKP4 & PARL
- interacts through its N-terminus with isoform 3 of GFAP
- interacts with DOCK3
Kinetic parameters:
- PS1 & PS2 have turnover times of ~15 min
- proteolytically cleaved N & C terminal fragments form heterodimers within the APP-gamma-secretase complex with a turnover time apparently > 12 hours [13-16,20]
Structure:
- predominantly heterodimer of a N-terminal (NTF) & a C-terminal (CTF) endoproteolytical fragment
- two conserved transmembrane aspartates in PS1 [Asp257 in transmembrane domain 6 (TM6) & Asp385 in transmembrane domain 7 (TM7)] are required for endoproteolysis (between Thr291 & Ala299 within the cytoplasmic loop between TM6 & TM7) & 'gamma-secretase' cleavage of APP to A4 [10,11]
- PS1 & PS2 appear to contain the active site of a gamma-secretase [18]
- the PAL motif is required for normal active site conformation
- belongs to the peptidase A22A family
Compartment:
- localized to the endoplasmic reticulum & pre-GOLGI [19]
- may also be associated with the plasma membrane [20]
- bound to NOTCH1 also at the cell surface
- colocalizes with CDH1/2 at sites of cell-cell contact
- colocalizes with CTNNB1 in the endoplasmic reticulum & the proximity of the plasma membrane
- also present in azurophil granules of neutrophils
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=6; some isoforms may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
Pathology:
- missense mutations in PS1 associated with:
a) early onset Alzheimer's disease
b) mutations in PS1 affect APP-gamma secretase activity
c) PS1 mutations also affect APP beta-secretase activity [17]
- deficiency of presenilin-1 inhibits transmembrane domain APP cleavage by gamma-secretase with accumulation of carboxy-terminal portion of APP & drop in production of A4 peptide [7]
- one of 3 components of APP gamma-secretase complex in which haploinsufficiency is associated with hidradenitis suppurativa
Genetics:
- protein product of autosomal dominant gene on 14q24.3
- PS1 knockout mice are not viable
Laboratory:
- presenilin 1 genetic mutation analysis
