This manuscript provides fundamental studies to help us better understand the effects of mutations in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene on proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).
The culture was diluted 1:20 and grown until OD600nm reached 0.4 to 0.6. It was then diluted in Mg-Terrific broth to an OD600nm of 0.01 and induced with IPTG to a final concentration of 5 mM for 16 h.
Among the single exchanges, substitution of the hydrophobic phenylalanine residue at position 2 (F2Y and F2E) led to a disperse or, occasionally, patchy distribution of the fusion protein (Figure 1B .
