Mutations in the Presenilin 1 gene are the cause of the majority of autosomal dominant familial forms of Alzheimer's disease. Presenilin 1 (PS1) is produced as a holoprotein but is then rapidly processed to amino- (N-PS1) and carboxy-terminal (C-PS1) fragments that are incorporated into stable high molecular mass complexes. The mechanisms that control PS1 cleavage and stability are not property understood but sequences within C-PS1 have been shown to regulate both of these properties. Here we demonstrate that cyclin dependent kinase-5/p35 (cdk5/p35) phosphorylates PS1 on threonine(354) within CPS1 both in vitro and in vivo. Threonine(354) phosphorylation functions to selectively stabilize G-PS1. Our results demonstrate that cdk5/p35 is a regulator of PS1 metabolism.
