Abstract

Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein implicated in the spatial and temporal specification of microtubules and has been found in the neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer's disease. Determination of tau protein structure has revealed three 18 amino acid repeated sequences hypothesized to be tubulin binding sites. Using tau cDNA clones from human fetal brain, we employed E. coli expression systems to synthesize tau protein and fragments of tau protein in order to identify the microtubule binding site. A fragment containing the three repeated sequences binds microtubules, while the amino-terminal half of the protein does not bind. Fragments containing two or one repeat are also capable of binding, indicating that the basic tubulin interacting unit is one repeat.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
