Functional genomic screen and network analysis reveal novel modifiers of tauopathy dissociated from tau phosphorylation
23 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
A functional genetic screen using loss-of-function and gain-of-function alleles was performed to identify modifiers of tau-induced neurotoxicity using the 2N/4R (full-length) isoform of wild-type human tau expressed in the fly retina. We previously reported eye pigment mutations, which create dysfunctional lysosomes, as potent modifiers; here, we report 37 additional genes identified from ∼1900 genes screened,...
