Abstract excerpt
Misfolding of the microtubule-associated protein tau is central to the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. Although proline-to-leucine (P → L) substitutions in tau are known to accelerate aggregation, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect-and potential strategies to counter it-remain incompletely understood....
