Abstract
The phosphoprotein tau is normally bound to microtubules. However, tau that is abnormally phosphorylated dissociates from microtubules. Accumulated soluble tau molecules then misfold and aggregate. These aggregations are a hallmark of the tauopathies responsible for cognitive dysfunction and neuropathies such as Alzheimer's disease (see Yuraszeck et al. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000997).
