The N-Terminus of Tau in Filament Formation and the Regulation of Axonal Transport: A Perspective on Tau Assembly and Toxicity

Description:

In several neurodegenerative diseases, the microtubule-associated protein tau self-aggregates to form filaments that accumulate in neurons and/or glia, although the relationship between tau aggregation and cell death is a subject of debate. The amino terminus of tau is involved in conformational changes that appear critical for filament formation, hinting at...
