    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 invention provides a method for stimulating nerve growth, which also includes nerve regeneration, by contacting nerve cells with human Neural Plakophilin Related Armadillo Protein (hNPRAP). In a specific embodiment, hNPRAP causes the development of numerous long, cellular extensions, which are similar to axonal sprouting observed during neuronal regeneration and synapse formation. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an hNPRAP, or alternatively a gene therapy vector that expresses an hNPRAP. Also provided are methods for identifying substances that modulate expression of hNPRAP.

    摘要: Presenilin Associated Membrane Protein (PAMP), and nucleic acids encoding this protein, are provided. PAMP and PAMP nucleic acids provide diagnostic and therapeutic tools for evaluating and treating or preventing neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. In a specific embodiment, mutations in PAMP are diagnostic for schizophrenia. The invention further relates to screening, particularly using high-throughput screens and transgenic animal models, for compounds that modulate the activity of PAMP and presenilins. Such compounds, or gene therapy with PAMP, can be used in treating neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia. In addition, the invention provides PAMP mutants, nucleic acids encoding for PAMP mutants, and transgenic animals expressing PAMP mutants, which in a preferred aspect result in biochemical, morphological, or neuropsychological changes similar to those associated with schizophrenia.

    摘要: Presenilin Associated Membrane Protein (PAMP), and nucleic acids encoding this protein, are provided. PAMP and PAMP nucleic acids provide diagnostic and therapeutic tools for evaluating and treating or preventing neurodegenerative diseases. In a specific embodiment, mutations in PAMP are diagnostic for Alzheimer's Disease or spina bifida. The invention further relates to screening, particularly using high-throughput screens and transgenic animal models, for compounds that modulate the activity of PAMP and presenilins. Such compounds, or gene therapy with PAMP, can be used in treating neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's Disease. In addition, the invention provides PAMP mutants, nucleic acids encoding for PAMP mutants, and transgenic animals expressing PAMP mutants, which in a preferred aspect result in biochemical changes similar to those induced by mutations in KNAPP, PS1, or PS2, associated with familial Alzheimer's disease.
