Ubiquitin is conjugated with amino-terminally processed tau in paired helical filaments
Abstract
We have investigated ubiquitinated paired helical filaments, which produce a proteinaceous smear in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The smear consisted largely of the carboxy-terminal portion of tau and ubiquitin. The ubiquitin-targeted protein was identified as tau in paired helical filaments, and the conjugation sites were localized to the microtubule-binding region. Most ubiquitin in paired helical filaments occurred as a monoubiquitinated form, and only a small proportion of ubiquitin formed multiubiquitin chains. There was a ubiquitin-negative smear, in which tau was much less processed in the amino-terminal portion. This strongly suggests that the amino-terminal processing of tau in paired helical filaments precedes its ubiquitination.

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.
