Gene Description

Presenilin-1 is a multi-pass membrane aspartyl protease subunit of the gamma-secretase complex. After endoproteolytic maturation, presenilin-1 N- and C-terminal fragments assemble with nicastrin, APH1, and PEN2 in secretory and endosomal membranes to cleave type I membrane-protein substrates, including APP and Notch receptors. Through this intramembrane protease activity, PSEN1 contributes to amyloid-beta peptide generation, Notch receptor processing, and broader regulated intramembrane proteolysis. Additional evidence links presenilin holoprotein to endoplasmic-reticulum calcium leak/homeostasis and protein-trafficking interactions, but these are secondary to its core gamma-secretase catalytic role.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0007219 Notch signaling pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1 is the catalytic presenilin subunit of gamma-secretase, which cleaves Notch receptors. The conserved PAINT annotation to Notch signaling is appropriate because Notch receptor processing is a core evolved function of presenilin/gamma-secretase biology.
Reason: Gamma-secretase cleaves Notch receptor substrates, and PSEN1 is the catalytic presenilin component of the complex. This is a core function, not only an Alzheimer disease context.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15274632
This enzyme cleaves many type I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) precursor (APP) and the Notch receptor.
GO:0042500 aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1 provides the catalytic aspartate protease activity of the gamma-secretase intramembrane protease complex. This molecular-function annotation is central and should be retained.
Reason: Structural and biochemical work places the PSEN1 catalytic aspartates in the membrane-embedded active site of human gamma-secretase.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:26280335
Among the two catalytic residues, Asp257 is located in the middle of TM6 slightly to the extracellular side, whereas Asp385 maps to the cytoplasmic side of TM7
GO:0055074 calcium ion homeostasis
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Presenilin proteins have experimental support for ER calcium leak channel activity independent of gamma-secretase, but this is a secondary function relative to PSEN1's core gamma-secretase protease role.
Reason: The annotation is biologically plausible and supported, but calcium homeostasis is best treated as a non-core presenilin activity for this review until the in-vivo physiological scope is separated from disease and cell-culture contexts.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16959576
presenilins account for approximately 80% of passive Ca(2+) leak from the endoplasmic reticulum.
GO:0016485 protein processing
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PSEN1 participates in proteolytic processing of membrane proteins as the catalytic presenilin subunit of gamma-secretase. The term is broad, but the PAINT annotation captures a real core process.
Reason: The annotation is correct but less informative than the more specific membrane-protein ectodomain/intramembrane proteolysis and amyloid-beta/Notch processing annotations; retain as non-core broad process context.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15274632
yeast cells suggest that PS, NCT, Aph-1, and Pen-2 are necessary and sufficient to reconstitute gamma-secretase activity.
GO:0006509 membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1/gamma-secretase cleaves type I membrane-protein substrates after ectodomain shedding, including APP and Notch receptor fragments. This is a core process annotation.
Reason: The annotation reflects PSEN1's conserved role in gamma-secretase substrate processing of membrane proteins.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15274632
Gamma-secretase is a member of an unusual class of proteases with intramembrane catalytic sites.
GO:0034205 amyloid-beta formation
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1-containing gamma-secretase cleaves APP-derived C-terminal fragments and generates amyloid-beta peptides. This is a core substrate processing outcome of PSEN1 gamma-secretase activity.
Reason: Purified gamma-secretase and structural studies support PSEN1 as the catalytic subunit responsible for APP cleavage leading to amyloid-beta production.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:26280335
Among these components, presenilin is responsible for the AΞ²-producing proteolytic activity7,8.
GO:0070765 gamma-secretase complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1 is a core component of the mature gamma-secretase complex, present as N- and C-terminal fragments with nicastrin, APH1, and PEN2.
Reason: This cellular-component annotation directly represents the complex in which PSEN1 performs its core catalytic role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15274632
Extensive mass spectrometry of the purified proteins strongly suggests that PS-NTF/CTF, mNCT, Aph-1, and Pen-2 are the components of active gamma-secretase.

Summary: Specific cadherin binding annotation for PSEN1-associated complexes or interactors.
Reason: The interaction is biologically relevant but secondary to the core gamma-secretase catalytic role; retain as non-core interaction context.
GO:0060828 regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Non-core PSEN1-associated neuronal, synaptic, adhesion, Wnt, or developmental process annotation.

GO:0070765 gamma-secretase complex
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: PSEN1 is a core component of the mature gamma-secretase complex with nicastrin, APH1, and PEN2.
Reason: Complex membership is central to PSEN1 function because isolated presenilin requires the other gamma-secretase subunits for mature protease activity.

Core Functions

PSEN1 is the catalytic presenilin subunit of the mature gamma-secretase complex, a multi-pass membrane aspartyl protease that cleaves type I membrane-protein substrates after ectodomain shedding.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:15274632
    This enzyme cleaves many type I membrane proteins, including the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) precursor (APP) and the Notch receptor.
  • PMID:15274632
    Extensive mass spectrometry of the purified proteins strongly suggests that PS-NTF/CTF, mNCT, Aph-1, and Pen-2 are the components of active gamma-secretase.
  • PMID:26280335
    Among these components, presenilin is responsible for the AΞ²-producing proteolytic activity7,8.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which PSEN1/gamma-secretase substrates are established normal in-vivo substrates across tissues, rather than inferred from disease models or overexpression systems?

Suggested experts: GO membrane proteolysis curators, gamma-secretase biology experts

Q: Should presenilin ER calcium leak/channel activity be curated as a conserved normal PSEN1 molecular function, or kept as context-dependent non-core biology pending stronger in-vivo evidence?

Suggested experts: calcium signaling experts, neurobiology curators

Q: Which PSEN1 subcellular locations reflect endogenous active gamma-secretase complexes versus isolated holoprotein, overexpression, or interactor-specific experiments?

Suggested experts: cell biology curators, gamma-secretase complex experts

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use endogenous tagging and substrate-specific reporters in physiologic human neuronal and non-neuronal cells to separate active gamma-secretase localization from total PSEN1 holoprotein localization.

Hypothesis: Only a subset of PSEN1-positive compartments contain mature gamma-secretase complexes responsible for APP and Notch substrate cleavage.

Type: endogenous tagging/substrate reporter imaging

Experiment: Compare wild-type PSEN1, catalytically inactive PSEN1, and calcium-leak-defective PSEN1 variants in knock-in cells or animal models under non-disease baseline conditions.

Hypothesis: ER calcium homeostasis is a separable normal presenilin activity rather than only a phenotype of familial Alzheimer variants or cellular stress.

Type: knock-in physiology/calcium imaging

Knowledge Gaps

What is not known β€” curated, literature-grounded statements of the open unknowns (the inverse of core functions).

Gap: The complete normal in-vivo substrate scope of PSEN1-containing gamma-secretase across tissues is unresolved. APP and Notch are established substrates, but which additional candidate substrates or interactors should be treated as evolved PSEN1 functions rather than overexpression, disease-model, or context-specific cleavage events remains unsettled.

OPEN BIOLOGYCURATION RESIDUAL_SUBGAP

What is known: PSEN1 is the catalytic presenilin subunit of the mature gamma-secretase complex, and the complex cleaves type I membrane-protein substrates including APP and Notch receptors.

Significance: PSEN1 has many GO annotations derived from substrate or interactor studies. Distinguishing conserved, normal substrate biology from context-specific cleavage or disease-model readouts is essential for deciding which biological-process annotations are core, non-core, or over-annotated.

What would resolve it: Endogenous substrate profiling across relevant human cell types, paired with catalytically inactive PSEN1 controls and substrate-specific rescue/readout assays, would define which substrate cleavages represent normal PSEN1 biology.

Provenance (the field's own admissions):

Gap: The physiological scope of PSEN1-mediated ER calcium leak/homeostasis is unresolved. It is not yet clear which calcium-homeostasis annotations reflect a conserved normal presenilin function in vivo versus phenotypes of familial-Alzheimer variants, knockout systems, or cellular stress models.

OPEN BIOLOGYCURATION RESIDUAL_SUBGAP

What is known: Presenilins can form ER Ca2+ leak channels in experimental systems, and this activity is separable from gamma-secretase proteolysis.

Significance: Calcium homeostasis is a real presenilin-associated activity but is secondary to the core gamma-secretase function in this review. Clarifying its normal in-vivo scope would determine whether calcium terms should remain non-core context or be promoted as a conserved PSEN1 function.

What would resolve it: Knock-in comparison of wild-type, protease-dead, and calcium-leak-defective PSEN1 variants under baseline non-disease conditions, with ER calcium measurements in physiologic cell types, would separate normal calcium function from disease/stress phenotypes.

Provenance (the field's own admissions):

Gap: The compartment-specific map of endogenous active PSEN1/gamma-secretase is incomplete. Many location annotations refer to membranes compatible with PSEN1 trafficking, but unusual or low-specificity locations still need to be separated from overexpressed holoprotein, isolated interactor experiments, or inactive/non-mature presenilin pools.

OPEN CURATION CC_DARK

What is known: The review supports mature gamma-secretase activity in secretory, endosomal, and plasma-membrane compartments, and records several unusual location annotations as UNDECIDED rather than removing them without full-text review.

Significance: PSEN1 has many compartment annotations. A curated distinction between endogenous active gamma-secretase complexes and broader PSEN1 holoprotein or interactor localization would reduce over-annotation while preserving real trafficking biology.

What would resolve it: Endogenous tagging combined with substrate-cleavage reporters and mature-complex markers should map active gamma-secretase compartments separately from total PSEN1 localization.
