Three‐repeat and four‐repeat tau isoforms form different oligomers
Our study provides novel insight into the primary–quaternary structure relationship of human tau and suggests that 3R‐tau oligomers may be an important target for future development of …
Tauopathy - Wikipedia
These PBs primarily consist of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, with tau protein presenting as two major bands at 60 and 64 kDa and a variable, minor band at 69 kDa. Filamentous tau …
Transmission of tauopathy strains is independent of their isoform ...
Jan 7, 2020 · Although normal human brains express 6 tau isoforms in equal ratio with 3 or 4 microtubule-binding repeat domains (3R and 4R), tau inclusions from different human …
Tau isoforms are differentially expressed across the hippocampus …
May 12, 2021 · CTE and AD were both observed to contain mixed 3R and 4R tau isoforms, with 4R predominating in mild disease and 3R increasing proportionally as pathological severity …
Structure-based classification of tauopathies - Nature
Sep 29, 2021 · Six tau isoforms are expressed in the adult human brain; three isoforms have three microtubule-binding repeats (3R) and three isoforms have four repeats (4R) 6. On the …
Clinical features and survival of 3R and 4R tauopathies presenting …
We compared the clinical characteristics of 3 repeat (3R) and 4 repeat (4R) tau-positive cases (tauopathies) presenting as behavior variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD). We identified …
Distinct phenotypes of three-repeat and four-repeat human tau in …
To explore this, we have compared the phenotypes induced by the 0N3R and 0N4R isoforms in Drosophila. Expression of the 3R isoform causes more profound axonal transport defects and …
MAPT Isoforms: Differential Transcriptional Profiles Related to 3R …
The predominant aggregation of certain MAPT (tau gene) isoforms, either the 4-repeat (4R tau) or the 3-repeat (3R tau) isoform has been widely described in tauopathies. Alterations of the 4R …
Distinct phenotypes of three-repeat and four-repeat human tau …
Sep 1, 2017 · All six isoforms of human tau have traditionally been considered to be functionally similar. We show here that there are isoform specific differences in the phenotypes induced by …
A single ultrasensitive assay for detection and discrimination of tau ...
Feb 22, 2020 · Here we describe a tau RT-QuIC assay (K12 RT-QuIC) that, using a C-terminally extended recombinant 3R tau substrate (K12CFh), enables sensitive detection of Pick …
