Pseudohyperphosphorylation causing AD-like changes in tau has significant effects on its polymerization.
The microtubule-associated protein tau, in a hyperphosphorylated form, aggregates into insoluble paired-helical filaments (PHFs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. In AD, there is approximately 8 mol of phosphate per mole of tau distributed among approximately 30 PHF phosphorylation sites as compared to 2-3 mol of phosphate per mole in normal brain. In AD, kinases such as glycog...
متن کاملTau-mediated cytotoxicity in a pseudohyperphosphorylation model of Alzheimer's disease.
Aggregation and increased phosphorylation of tau at selected sites ("hyperphosphorylation") are histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is not known whether the tau pathology has a primary role during neuronal degeneration. To determine the role of tau hyperphosphorylation in AD, pseudohyperphosphorylated tau (PHP-tau) that simulates disease-like permanent, high sto...

متن کاملPolymerization of hyperphosphorylated tau into filaments eliminates its inhibitory activity.
Accumulation of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau (P-tau) in the form of tangles of paired helical filaments and/or straight filaments is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. P-tau is also found unpolymerized in AD. Although the cognitive decline is known to correlate with the degree of neurofibrillary pathology, whether the formation of filaments or the prec...
متن کاملA steroid derivative with paclitaxel-like effects on tubulin polymerization.
The endogenous estrogen metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol has modest antimitotic activity that may result from a weak interaction at the colchicine binding site of tubulin, but it nevertheless has in vivo antitumor activity. Synthetic efforts to improve activity led to compounds that increased inhibitory effects on cell growth, tubulin polymerization, and binding of colchicine to tubulin. This earl...
