O-GlcNAcylation regulates phosphorylation of tau: A mechanism involved in Alzheimer's disease
Open accessAbstract
Microtubule-associated protein tau is abnormally hyperphosphorylated and aggregated into neurofibrillary tangles in brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Tau pathology is critical to pathogenesis and correlates to the severity of dementia. However, the mechanisms leading to abnormal hyperphosphorylation are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that human brain tau was modified by O-GlcNAcylation, a type of protein O-glycosylation by which the monosaccharide β- N -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) attaches to serine/threonine residues via an O-linked glycosidic bond. O-GlcNAcylation regulated phosphorylation of tau in a site-specific manner both in vitro and in vivo . At most of the phosphorylation sites, O-GlcNAcylation negatively regulated tau phosphorylation. In an animal model of starved mice, low glucose uptake/metabolism that mimicked those observed in AD brain produced a decrease in O-GlcNAcylation and consequent hyperphosphorylation of tau at the majority of the phosphorylation sites. The O-GlcNAcylation level in AD brain extracts was decreased as compared to that in controls. These results reveal a mechanism of regulation of tau phosphorylation and suggest that abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau could result from decreased tau O-GlcNAcylation, which probably is induced by deficient brain glucose uptake/metabolism in AD and other 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.
