The GXGD-type diaspartyl intramembrane protease, presenilin, constitutes the catalytic core of the ?-secretase multi-protein complex responsible for activating critical signaling cascades during development and for the production of ?-amyloid peptides (A?) implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The only other known GXGD-type diaspartyl intramembrane proteases are the eukaryotic signal peptide peptidases (SPPs). The presence of presenilin-like enzymes outside eukaryots has not been demonstrated. Here we report the existence of presenilin-like GXGD-type diaspartyl intramembrane proteases in archaea.
