The presenilin 1 (PS1) and presenilin 2 (PS2) proteins are necessary for proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) within its transmembrane domain. One of these cleavage events (termed gamma-secretase) generates the C-terminal end of the Abeta-peptide by proteolysis near residue 710 or 712 of APP(770). Another event (termed gamma-like or epsilon-secretase cleavage) cleaves near residue 721 at approximately 2-5 residues inside the cytoplasmic membrane boundary to generate a series of stable, C-terminal APP fragments. This latter cleavage is analogous to S3-cleavage of Notch. We report here that specific mutations in the N terminus, loop, or C terminus of PS1 all increase the production of Abeta(42) but cause inhibition of both epsilon-secretase cleavage of APP and S3-cleavage of Notch. These data support the hypothesis that epsilon-cleavage of APP and S3-cleavage of Notch are similar events. They also argue that, although both the gamma-site and the epsilon-site cleavage of APP are presenilin-dependent, they are likely to be independent catalytic events.
