Decreases in valosin-containing protein result in increased levels of tau phosphorylated at Ser262/356
Open accessAbstract
VCP/p97 is a multifunctional AAA+-ATPase involved in vesicle fusion, proteasomal degradation, and autophagy. Reported dysfunctions of these processes in Alzheimer disease (AD), along with the linkage of VCP/p97 to inclusion body myopathy with Paget's disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) led us to examine the possible linkage of VCP to the AD-relevant protein, tau. VCP levels were reduced in AD brains, but not in the cerebral cortex of an AD mouse model, suggesting that VCP reduction occurs upstream of tau pathology. Genetic reduction of VCP in a primary neuronal model led to increases in the levels of tau phosphorylated at Ser(262/356), indicating that VCP may be involved in regulating post-translational processing of tau in AD, demonstrating a possible functional linkage between tau and VCP.

Aggregated tau or tau phosphorylated at Ser262/356 is degraded by the autophagy-lysosome system.
“The majority of tau species (including tau lacking phosphorylation at Ser262/356) are degraded by the proteasome [20], while aggregated tau or tau phosphorylated at Ser262/356 is degraded by the autophagy-lysosome system [79–84].”
From Stabilization of Microtubule-Unbound Tau via Tau Phosphorylation at Ser262/356 by Par-1/MARK Contributes to Augmentation of AD-Related Phosphorylation and Aβ42-Induced Tau Toxicity (2016) · cites this paper as [81]
The Discussion states that tau phosphorylated at KXGS motifs is degraded by autophagy rather than the proteasome, and §3.4 reports increased soluble Ser262/356-phosphorylated tau after autophagy inhibition. These passages support the phosphorylated-tau part of the claim, but our copy does not establish that aggregated tau is degraded by the autophagy-lysosome system; the study reports no change in insoluble tau after VCP knockdown.

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.
