Abstract excerpt
The two most prominent post-translational modifications of pathologic tau are Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation and Lys acetylation. Whether acetylation impacts the susceptibility of tau to templated seeding in diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is largely uncharacterized. Towards this, we examined how acetylation mimicking or nullifying mutations on five sites of tau (K311,...
