Tau Protein and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesAlzheimer's & Dementia, 2004
Abstract Background In 1988, we showed that tau protein is an integral component of the paired helical filaments (PHFs) of Alzheimer's disease. Over thirty neurodegenerative diseases are now known to exhibit filamentous tau inclusions. We identified the six tau isoforms that are produced in the

The role of p38 MAPK and its substrates in neuronal plasticity and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A significant amount of evidence suggests that the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and in neurodegenerative diseases.

Change in tau phosphorylation associated with neurodegeneration in the ME7 model of prion disease

open access: yes, 2010
Hyperphosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is a significant determinant in AD (Alzheimer's disease), where it is associated with disrupted axonal transport and probably causes synaptic dysfunction.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Tau, p-Tau 181 and Amyloid-beta(38/40/42) in Frontotemporal Dementias and Primary Progressive Aphasias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background/Aims: We determined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid-beta(A beta)(1-38), A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42), total tau and phospho-tau (p-tau) in order to study their differential expression in frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 25 ...

Histological markers in nasal mucosa of patients with Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Neuropathological changes such as dystrophic neurites and the presence of abnormal tau protein in the olfactory system, including primary sensory cells and nerve fibres have previously been demonstrated in nasal mucosa tissue of patients with Alzheimer's

DnaJC7 specifically regulates tau seeding

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Neurodegenerative tauopathies are caused by accumulation of toxic tau protein assemblies. This appears to involve template-based seeding events, whereby tau monomer changes conformation and is recruited to a growing aggregate.

Structural characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins by NMR spectroscopy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent advances in NMR methodology and techniques allow the structural investigation of biomolecules of increasing size with atomic resolution. NMR spectroscopy is especially well-suited for the study of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and ...

SUMO1 modification of 0N4R-tau is regulated by PIASx, SENP1, SENP2, and TRIM11

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that contributes to cytoskeletal stabilization. Aggregation of tau proteins is associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Improved Expression of Aggregation-Prone Tau Proteins Using a Spidroin-Derived Solubility Tag

open access: yesSeparations
Tauopathies, a group of neurodegenerative disorders, are characterized by the abnormal aggregation of microtubule-associated Tau proteins in neurons and glial cells.
