33 results about "Presenilin" patented technology

Presenilins are a family of related multi-pass transmembrane proteins which constitute the catalytic subunits of the gamma-secretase intramembrane protease complex. They were first identified in screens for mutations causing early onset forms of familial Alzheimer's disease by Peter St George-Hyslop at the Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases at the University of Toronto, and now also at the University of Cambridge. Vertebrates have two presenilin genes, called PSEN1 (located on chromosome 14 in humans) that encodes presenilin 1 (PS-1) and PSEN2 (on chromosome 1 in humans) that codes for presenilin 2 (PS-2). Both genes show conservation between species, with little difference between rat and human presenilins. The nematode worm C. elegans has two genes that resemble the presenilins and appear to be functionally similar, sel-12 and hop-1.

Phosphoinositide modulation for the treatment of alzheimer's disease

InactiveUS20080312187A1Enhance memoryInhibited synaptic dysfunctionBiocideNervous disorderPhosphoric acidPhosphatidylinositol
The present invention relates to methods of treating Alzheimer's Disease which utilize agents that increase neuronal phosphotidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2), and to differentiated stem cell-based assay systems that may be used to identify agents that modulate phosphoinositide levels and thereby treat a variety of diseases. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that edelfosine, an agent that increases PIP2 levels by inhibiting an enzyme that catalyzes PIP2 breakdown, decreases levels of neurotoxic A&bgr;42 peptide, particularly in cells expressing a mutant presenilin gene associated with Familial Alzheimer's Disease.

Functional screening

Screening methods for identifying molecules that interact with and / or regulate accumulation and stabilization of unstable proteins are provided. The screening methods involve generation of chimeric proteins comprising a region of an unstable protein linked to a region of a marker gene product. Changes in the levels of the unstable protein, due to accumulation, and / or stabilization and / or hyperaccumulation are then determined by analyzing the change in the marker gene product level. The marker gene product can be an antibiotic resistance gene that confers antibiotic resistance by stoichiometrically binding to the antibiotic or it can be a fluorescent protein region. Thus, antibiotic resistance screening or fluorescence imaging or cell sorting methods can be used to detect changes in the levels of the unstable chimeric proteins. Unstable proteins suitable for this screening method include, but are not limited to, membrane proteins such as ion channels, receptors, or presenilins.
