The amyloid precursor protein (APP) must fulfill important roles based on its sequence conservation from fly to human. Although multiple functions for APP have been proposed, the best-known role for this protein is as the precursor of Ab peptide, a neurotoxic 39-43-amino acid peptide crucial to the

## Abstract The Ξ³βsecretase complex is involved in cleaving transmembrane proteins such as Notch and one of the genes targeted in Alzheimer's disease known as amyloid precursor protein (APP). Presenilins function within the catalytic core of Ξ³βsecretase, and mutated forms of presenilins were identi
In a previous study [Nachaliel et al., 1993], we identified an RNA-binding protein (RBP) in FTO-2B rat hepatoma cells whose activity was stimulated upon the dissociation of a protein factor. We report in this article that the RBP is a complex protein of about 400 kDa, composed of RNA-binding subunit
## Abstract Infection by __Leishmania__ and __Trypanosoma__ causes severe disease and can be fatal. The reduced effectiveness of current treatments is largely due to drug resistance, hence the urgent need to develop new drugs, preferably against novel targets. We have recently identified a mitochon
