Distinct glycosaminoglycan chain length and sulfation patterns required for cellular uptake of Tau, Aβ, and α-Synuclein
2017-10-21
Abstract excerpt
Transcellular propagation of aggregate “seeds” has been proposed to mediate progression of neurodegenerative diseases in tauopathies and α-synucleinopathies. We have previously determined that tau and α-synuclein aggregates bind heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the cell surface. This mediates uptake and intracellular seeding. The specificity and mode of binding to HSPGs has been unknown. We used modified h...
