Visualization and quantification of APP intracellular domain-mediated nuclear signaling by bimolecular fluorescence complementation.

<h4>Background</h4>The amyloid precursor protein (APP) intracellular domain (AICD) is released from full-length APP upon sequential cleavage by either α- or β-secretase followed by γ-secretase. Together with the adaptor protein Fe65 and the histone acetyltransferase Tip60, AICD forms nuc...
