Endo-lysosomal Aβ concentration and pH enable formation of Aβ oligomers that potently induce Tau missorting
2020-06-28
Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) forms metastable oligomers >50 kD, termed AβOs or protofibrils, that are more effective than Aβ amyloid fibrils at triggering Alzheimer’s disease-related processes such as synaptic dysfunction and Tau pathology, including Tau mislocalization. In neurons, Aβ accumulates in endo-lysosomal vesicles at low pH. Here, we show that the rate of AβO assembly is accelerated 8,000-fold upon pH reductio...
