Phosphorylation of Ser262 strongly reduces binding of tau to microtubules: Distinction between PHF-like immunoreactivity and microtubule binding
Abstract
Tau protein, a component of Alzheimer paired helical filaments, can be phosphorylated by several kinases. Of particular interest is the phosphorylation at Ser/Thr-Pro motifs because the resulting state of tau is similar to that found in Alzheimer's disease, as judged by its immunoreactivity. This state can be mimicked by a brain extract kinase activity and by MAP kinase. We have now studied the effect of these modes of phosphorylation on the interaction between tau and microtubules. Although MAP kinase efficiently phosphorylates many Ser/Thr-Pro motifs of tau, its effect on microtubule binding is only moderate. By contrast, phosphorylation of a single residue, Ser262, has a major effect on binding. Ser262 is not phosphorylated by MAP kinase or other proline-directed kinases, but is phosphorylated by a 35/41 kd kinase in brain, whose purification is described.

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.
