Defined amount of each substrate was incubated with γ-secretase fraction for 4 h. Protein samples were subjected to western blotting with AICD–FLAG being the authentic standards. ICD produced from each substrate was visualized with anti-M2 FLAG antibody, and their intensities were quantified (see Fig. 2). Vmax/Km values, which indicate catalytic efficiency of γ-secretase, were roughly fivefold greater for substrates containing a short ectodomain compared with those with a long ectodomain. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of three independent experiments.
