Protein-protein interactions in the assembly and subcellular trafficking of the BACE (beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme) complex of Alzheimer's disease

The correct assembly of the BACE (beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme or beta-secretase) complex and its subsequent trafficking to cellular compartments where it associates with the APP (amyloid precursor protein) is essential for the production of Abeta (amyloid beta-peptide), the protein whose aggregation into senile plaques is thought to be responsible for the pathogenesis of AD (Alzheimer's disease). These processes rely upon both transient and permanent BACE-protein interactions. This review will discuss what is currently known about these BACE-protein interactions and how they may reveal novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of AD.
