Tau Ser262 phosphorylation is critical for A 42-induced tau toxicity in a transgenic Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease
12 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
The amyloid-beta 42 (Abeta42) peptide has been suggested to promote tau phosphorylation and toxicity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Using transgenic Drosophila expressing both human Abeta42 and tau, we show here that tau phosphorylation at Ser262 plays a critical role in Abeta42-induced tau toxicity. Co-expression of Abeta42 increased tau...
