Building on this finding, researchers at Harvard Medical School showed that changing the structure of presenilin 1 at its active site dramatically altered a cell’s ability to make the gamma secretase cut in APP (Kimberly et al., 2000). This correlation was also shown to be true for presenilin 2, the protein product of a gene very similar to presenilin 1 that, when mutated, can cause familial early-onset AD. These results strongly suggested, but did not prove, that gamma secretase and the presenilins were one and the same. Further evidence supporting this possibility came from a pharmaceutical company-supported team, closely followed by the Harvard Medical School group. (references)
