Abstract

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that plays an important role in axonal stabilization, neuronal development, and neuronal polarity. In this review, we focus on the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary tau structures. We describe the structure of tau from its specific residues until its conformation in dimers, oligomers, and larger polymers in physiological and pathological situations.

Statistics

Figure 1 Tau residues and tau regions. (A) The localization in tau molecules of some tau residues is shown. (B) The different tau regions, including the microtubule binding repeats are shown. (C) Intramolecular interactions, like that described for “paper-clip” structure (see text and reference, Jeganathan et al., 2006) could prevent the tau self-interaction by masking the region(s) involved in that interaction.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 2 Interaction tau-tau. Tau protein could be found as an extended common long protein that could bind to other proteins, including itself, in this extended fashion (Hirokawa et al., 1988). The Figure shows how two tau molecules could interact, in an antiparallel fashion, through their microtubule-binding domain where cysteine residues are present.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 3 Hypothetical tau circular-like structure. (A) Tau granule (circular-like) structures have been previously reported (Rábano et al., 2013; Takashima, 2013). In the Figure, it is shown an hypothetical closed structure playing with parallel and antiparallel tau molecules. In that structure, a hole in the center surrounded by C-terminal sequences of tau molecule can be found. Since tau C-terminal sequences contain several acidic residues, it is possible the reaction of those residues with metals. It may take place in argylophylic grains. (B) A 3D-like image of the structure is shown. In that image parallel and antiparallel forms, with the C-terminal (blue) or N-terminal (violet), regions of tau molecule at the surface, could be present. It is proposed that those having the C-terminal inside the structure could react with cations.CC BY · PubMed Central

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.
