Cryo-EM structures of tau filaments
Abstract
Assembly of microtubule-associated protein tau into filamentous inclusions underlies many human neurodegenerative diseases, called tauopathies. Tau inclusions display distinct cellular and neuroanatomical distributions in different tauopathies. Morphological and biochemical differences suggest that tau filaments adopt disease-specific molecular conformers, similar to prion strains. Breakthroughs in electron cryo-microscopy have recently yielded atomic structures of tau filaments extracted from the brains of individuals with various tauopathies. Each disease is characterised by a unique tau filament fold, which is conserved among individuals with the same disease. In vitro aggregation yields different structures from those observed in brain. Tau isoform composition, post-translational modifications or interactions with cofactors may determine which structures are formed in brain. Understanding filament formation will be central to deciphering the molecular mechanisms that underlie human tauopathies.

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.
