The frontotemporal dementia mutation R406W blocks tau’s interaction with the membrane in an annexin A2–dependent manner
21 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Changes of the microtubule-associated protein tau are central in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). However, the functional consequence of the FTDP-17 tau mutation R406W, which causes a tauopathy clinically resembling AD, is not well understood. We find that the R406W mutation does not affect microtubule interaction but abolishes tau's...
