Abstract: Although delta-catenin/neural plakophilin-related armadillo protein (NPRAP) was reported to interact with presenilin-1 (PS-1) the effects of PS-1 on delta-catenin have not been established. In this study we report that overexpression of PS-1 inhibits the delta-catenin-induced dendrite-like morphological changes in NIH 3T3 cells and promotes delta-catenin processing and turnover. The effects of PS-1 on endogenous delta-catenin processing were confirmed in hippocampal neurons overexpressing PS-1 as well as in the transgenic mice expressing the disease-causing mutant PS-1 (M146V). In addition disease-causing mutant PS-1 (M146V and L286V) enhanced delta-catenin processing whereas PS-1/gamma-secretase inhibitors could block the formation of processed forms of delta-catenin. Together our findings suggest that PS-1 can affect delta-catenin-induced morphogenesis possibly through the regulation of its processing and stability.
