Sorting mechanisms of Tau and MAP2 in neurons: Suppressed axonal transit of MAP2 and locally regulated microtubule binding
Open accessAbstract
Tau is abundant in the axon, whereas MAP2 is found in the cell body and dendrites. To understand their differential localization, we performed transfection studies on primary cultured neurons using tagged tau, MAP2, MAP2C, and their chimeric/deletion mutants. We found that MAP2 was prevented from entering the axon by its N-terminal projection domain and that microtubule binding of tau was stronger in the axon than in the cell body and dendrites, whereas that of MAP2/MAP2C was tighter in the cell body and dendrites than in the axon. These binding properties were determined by their microtubule-binding domains and were suggested to be regulated by phosphorylation, at least in the case of tau. Thus, the suppressed axonal transit of MAP2 and locally regulated microtubule binding may play important roles for their sorting in neurons.

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.
