Abstract excerpt
The P301 L mutation in tau, a microtubule-associated protein, causes frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome-17 (FTDP-17) that is accompanied by formation of filamentous polymers of tau. The mutation reduces the binding capability of microtubules and enhances tau filament formation. However, it is unclear whether the P301 L mutation increases the formation of the intermediates of tau...
