The pathogenic L392V mutation of presenilin 1 decreases the affinity to glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta.
Determination of the effects of presenilin 1 (PSEN1) mutations, involved in autosomal dominant early-onset Alzheimer's disease (ADEOAD), on the interaction between PSEN1 and binding proteins is essential to determine which interactions are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. The PSEN1 binding protein glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3 beta) has been considered as a key protein in AD pathogenesis since GSK-3 beta phosphorylates tau and hyperphosphorylated tau is a main component of neurofibrillary tangles associated to AD. We show here, using surface plasmonic resonance, that the pathogenic L392V mutation, identified in a large French ADEOAD pedigree including 39 affected members, leads to a decreased affinity to GSK-3 beta. We conclude therefore that the increase of affinity of PSEN1 to GSK-3 beta reported in previous studies is not a common effect of pathogenic mutations associated to ADEOAD.
