Abstract excerpt
Mutations in MAPT (Tau) have been implicated in several types of tauopathy, but the pathways leading to neurodegeneration have remained elusive and are heterogeneous. Here we describe the effects of two mutations, both linked to AD or FTD, that are located in different domains of Tau and show different pathways of toxicity. The deletion mutation ΔK280 lies in the repeat domain and strongly increases β-structure...
