Abstract excerpt
The assembly of tau into amyloid filaments is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Cryo-EM revealed the existence of disease-specific tau folds, which are challenging to replicate in vitro. We studied three full-length recombinant 0N3R tau forms (the wild-type and the C322A and C322S variants) using an RT-QuIC assay with brain homogenate seeding. C322A tau formed filaments resembling AD...
