Abstract excerpt
Multiple neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by aberrant proteinaceous accumulations of tau. Here, we report a RING-in-between-RING-type E3 ligase, TRIAD3A, that functions as an autophagy adaptor for tau. TRIAD3A(RNF216) is an essential gene with mutations causing age-progressive neurodegeneration. Our studies reveal that TRIAD3A E3 ligase catalyses mixed K11/K63 polyubiquitin chains and self-assembles...
