Phosphorylation affects the ability of tau protein to promote microtubule assembly.
Open accessAbstract
Tau is a family of closely related proteins known for its ability to copolymerize with tubulin, inducing the formation of microtubules. When tau was stripped of phosphate by treatment with alkaline phosphatase it underwent a pronounced change in electrophoretic mobility, probably reflecting a conformational change. The dephosphorylated tau promoted significantly more rapid and more extensive polymerization of microtubules though there was no obvious difference in the microtubules formed. Partially purified microtubule protein contains a kinase that can rephosphorylate tau.

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.
