The multiple-step cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates amyloid-? peptides (A?), highly toxic molecules causing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The nonspecific cleavage between the transmembrane region of APP (APPTM) and ?-secretase is the key step of A? generation. Reconstituting APPTM under physiologically-relevant conditions is crucial to investigate how it interacts with ?-secretase and for future AD drug discovery. Although producing recombinant APPTM was reported before, the...
