Abstract excerpt
The tau protein aggregates into amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. In these tauopathies, tau is decorated with posttranslational modifications, including phosphorylation and acetylation, suggesting that these modifications may cause tau to aggregate into specific pathological structures. Here, we investigate how pseudoacetylation of three lysine residues, K311Q, K321Q,...
