    摘要: Disclosed is a method for identifying substances that alter the interaction of a presenilin protein with a presenilin-binding protein, including contacting at least the interacting domain of a presenilin protein to a presenilin-binding protein in the presence of a test substance, and measuring the interaction of the presenilin protein and the presenilin-binding protein. Also disclosed is method for identifying substances that modulate the nuclear translocation of an armadillo protein, including providing a culture of cells that express the armadillo protein and a mutant presenilin protein, or a functional fragment thereof that binds an armadillo protein; contacting the culture with a test substance; inducing nuclear translocation of the armadillo protein in the cells; and measuring levels of nuclear armadillo protein as compared to a control as an indication of modulatory activity of the test substance. Further disclosed is method for screening individuals for presenilin alleles associated with Alzheimer's Disease or related disorders, including obtaining cells from an individual to be tested for Alzheimer's Disease or a related disorder; inducing nuclear translocation of an armadillo protein in the cells; and measuring levels of the nuclear armadillo protein as compared to a control as an indication of the presence or absence of presenilin alleles associated with Alzheimer's Disease or a related disorder.

    摘要: The present invention describes the identification, isolation, cloning, and determination of the Alzheimer Related Membrane Protein (ARMP) gene on chromosome 14 and a related gene, E5-1, on chromosome 1. Normal and mutant copies of both genes are presented. Transcripts and products of these genes are useful in detecting and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, developing therapeutics for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, as well as the isolation and manufacture of the protein and the construction of transgenic animals expressing the mutant genes.

    摘要: The present invention describes the identification, isolation, cloning, and sequencing of the Alzheimer Related Membrane Protein (ARMP) gene for both normal and mutant forms. An analogous mouse gene, mARMP gene, has also been isolated, cloned, and sequenced. The gene transcript and gene products are used in developing DNA diagnosis for and detection of carriers of the gene, Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis, gene therapy, protein therapy, immunotherapy, as well as the isolation and manufacture of the protein and the development of transgenic animals carrying mutations in the ARMP gene.
