Three- and Four-repeat Tau Regulate the Dynamic Instability of Two Distinct Microtubule Subpopulations in Qualitatively Different Manners
30 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein tau is implicated in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases, including fronto-temporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), in which both RNA splicing and amino acid substitution mutations in tau cause dominantly inherited early onset dementia. RNA-splicing FTDP-17 mutations alter the wild-type approximately 50:50 3-repeat (3R) to 4-repeat...
