Total and phosphorylated tau proteins: Evaluation as core biomarker candidates in frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
An ever increasing number of patients with neurodegenerative disorders calls for the evaluation of potential diagnostic markers that allow an early diagnosis and an early initiation of specific therapy. Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the

The Molecular Chaperone Artemin Efficiently Blocks Fibrillization of TAU Protein In Vitro
Objective: Aggregation of the TAU proteins in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain is a common risk factor in tauopathies including Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

TTBK2: A Tau Protein Kinase beyond Tau Phosphorylation [PDF]
Tau tubulin kinase 2 (TTBK2) is a kinase known to phosphorylate tau and tubulin. It has recently drawn much attention due to its involvement in multiple important cellular processes. Here, we review the current understanding of TTBK2, including its sequence, structure, binding sites, phosphorylation substrates, and cellular processes involved.

Analytical performance and clinical utility of the INNOTEST (R) PHOSPHO-TAU(181P) assay for discrimination between Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies [PDF]
Background: Total tau (T-tau) and beta-amyloid((1-42)) (A beta(1-42)) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can differentiate Alzheimer's disease (AD) from normal aging or depressive pseudo-dementia.

Folding of the Tau Protein on Microtubules
Abstract Microtubules are regulated by microtubule‐associated proteins. However, little is known about the structure of microtubule‐associated proteins in complex with microtubules. Herein we show that the microtubule‐associated protein Tau, which is intrinsically disordered in solution, locally folds into a stable structure upon ...

Tau pathology is present in vivo and develops in vitro in sensory neurons from human P301S Tau transgenic mice : a system for screening drugs against tauopathies [PDF]
Intracellular tau aggregates are the neuropathological hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and cases of frontotemporal dementia, but the link between these aggregates and ...

The regulatory effect of Tau protein on polymerization of MCF7 microtubules in vitro
Growing evidence continues to point toward the critical role of beta tubulin isotypes in regulating some intracellular functions. Changes that were observed in the microtubules’ intrinsic dynamics, the way they interact with some chemotherapeutic agents,

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation. [PDF]
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.
