Tau filaments with the Alzheimer fold in cases with <i>MAPT</i> mutations V337M and R406W
2024-04-30
Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease are the most common forms of early-onset dementia. Dominantly inherited mutations in MAPT , the microtubule-associated protein tau gene, cause FTD and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Individuals with FTDP-17 develop abundant filamentous tau inclusions in brain cells. Here we used electron cryo-microscopy to determine the structures of tau filam...
