متن کاملIs tau a prion-like protein?
It has been over a quarter century since the discovery in the mid-1980s that the paired helical filaments of neurofibrillary tangles were made up of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau. A decade earlier tau had been first isolated from porcine brain as a heat stable protein essential for microtubule assembly. The following years clearly established tau as a microtubule-associated protein that un...
متن کاملInduction of intracellular tau aggregation is promoted by α-synuclein seeds and provides novel insights into the hyperphosphorylation of tau.
Intracytoplasmic proteinaceous inclusions, primarily composed of tau or α-synuclein (α-syn), are predominant pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), respectively. However, the coexistence of these pathological aggregates is identified in many neurodegenerative disorders, including spectrum disorders of AD and PD. Whereas α-syn can spontaneously polymerize...
متن کاملTau Propagation, Different Tau Phenotypes, and Prion-like Properties of Tau
Sanders et al. (2014) demonstrate in this issue of Neuron that the natively unfolded protein tau can propagate indefinitely in distinct stable strains, therefore supporting the general idea that tau has prion-like properties, with implications for Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies.
متن کاملThe Seeds of Neurodegeneration: Prion-like Spreading in ALS
Misfolded proteins accumulating in several neurodegenerative diseases (including Alzheimer, Parkinson, and Huntington diseases) can cause aggregation of their native counterparts through a mechanism similar to the infectious prion protein's induction of a pathogenic conformation onto its cellular isoform. Evidence for such a prion-like mechanism has now spread to the main misfolded proteins, SO...
