Statins inhibit the dimerization of beta-secretase [BACE (beta-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme)] by inhibiting the lipidation of BACE and associated proteins. Our studies have demonstrated a clearly defined temporal sequence for these reactions in the assembly of the BACE complex, which may provide targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
