Abstract excerpt
p73 and tau both play roles in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. In this pilot study we show by Western blotting that TAp73alpha induces phosphorylation of human 2N4R tau at threonine-205 and at the PHF-1 epitope (serine366/serine404) in HEK293a cells. Neither the dominant negative isoform, DeltaNp73, nor a transcriptionally inactive mutant TAp73alpha(R292H) altered tau phosphorylation indicating that tau...
