Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model for tauopathies in which expression of human tau in neurons caused insoluble phosphorylated tau accumulation, neurodegeneration and uncoordinated movement (Unc). To identify genes participating in tau neurotoxicity, we conducted a forward genetic screen for mutations that ameliorate tau-induced uncoordination. The recessive mutation sut-1(bk79)...
