TTBK2: A Tau Protein Kinase beyond Tau Phosphorylation
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. TTBK2 possesses a casein kinase 1 (CK1) kinase doma...
متن کاملTau Tubulin Kinase TTBK2 Sensitivity of Glutamate Receptor GluK2.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Inherited, autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 (SCA11) is caused by loss of function mutations of TTBK2 (tau tubulin kinase 2). Mutations observed in patients with SCA11 include truncated TTBK2(450). The present study explored the possibility that TTBK2 influences the function of the glutamate receptor GluK2. METHODS GluK2 was expressed in Xenopus oocytes without...
متن کاملAMP-activated protein kinase modulates tau phosphorylation and tau pathology in vivo
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are the pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases commonly known as tauopathies. NFTs result from the intracellular aggregation of abnormally and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins. Tau functions, which include the regulation of microtubules dynamics, are dependent on its phosphorylation status. As a consequence, any changes in tau phosphorylation can have...
متن کاملTau-tubulin kinase 1 (TTBK1), a neuron-specific tau kinase candidate, is involved in tau phosphorylation and aggregation.
Neurofibrillary tangles, which are major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), are composed of paired helical filaments (PHFs) containing hyperphosphorylated tau. Specific kinases regulate tau phosphorylation and are closely linked to the pathogenesis of AD. We have characterized a human tau-tubulin kinase 1 (TTBK1) gene located on chromosome 6p21.1. TTBK1 is a serine/threonine/ty...
متن کاملP 142: Air Pollution\'s Triggering Role in Tau Protein Hyper Phosphorylation; A Sign of Alzheimer Disease
Nowadays, air pollution is one of the major problems in developed and developing countries. In recent years, effects of air pollution on neuroinflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease have been studied. Researches on polluted cities citizens indicate increasing in central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory factors in comparison with clean cities; also air pollution ex...
