Site-specific pseudophosphorylation modulates the rate of tau filament dissociation.

Abstract excerpt

Hyperphosphorylation of tau is of fundamental importance for neurofibrillary lesion development in Alzheimer's disease, but the mechanisms through which it acts are not clear. Experiments with pseudophosphorylation mutants of full-length tau protein indicate that incorporation of negative charge into specific sites can modulate the aggregation reaction, and that this occurs by altering the critical concentration...
