ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo understand the pathological and physiological roles of Presenilin 1 (PS1) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) recurrence, and the interaction between PSI and carhoxyl terminus of Hsc70 interacting protein (CHIP). MethodsThe yeast two-hybrid system was applied to identify a novel PS1 interacting protein as CHIP. After pGBKT7-PS1-C203 bait plasmid and full fragement CHIP of pACT2-CHIP expression vector were constructed, the interaction between PSI and CHIP was tested by β-galactosidase assay, pGBKT7-PS1-C203 was co-transfected with pACT2-CHIP into 293T cells and the interaction between PS1 and CHIP was tested by co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot. ResultsSpecificity of the interaction between PS1 and CHIP was identified by β-galactosidase assay and co- immunoprecipitation. ConclusionsCHIP is able to modulate chaperone functions and the pathway of protein ubiquitination/degradation. CHIP may regulate a proper assembly of the γ-secretase complex through its interaction with PSI, which is helpful to elucidate the mechanism of AD pathology.
