Abstract excerpt
Tau mutations in frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) are associated with changes in alternative splicing of exon 10. The DeltaK280 mutation in exon 10 is exceptional because in vitro observations suggest a dramatic effect on microtubule binding, enhanced self-aggregation, as well as a decrease of the 4R/3R ratio by the ablation of an exon splicing enhancer element. Using...
