Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein tau forms insoluble, amyloid-type aggregates in various dementias, most notably Alzheimer's disease. Cellular chaperone proteins play important roles in maintaining protein solubility and preventing aggregation in the crowded cellular environment. Although tau is known to interact with numerous chaperones, it remains unclear how these chaperones function mechanistically to...
