Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein involved in several neurodegenerative diseases where a common hallmark is the appearance of tau aggregates in the brain. One common approach to elucidate the mechanisms behind the aggregation of tau has been to recapitulate in vitro the self-assembly process in a fast and reproducible manner. While the seeding of tau aggregation is prompted by negatively charged cofactors, the obtained fibrils are morphologically distinct from those found in vivo. The Tau AD core fragment (TADC, tau 306-378) has emerged as a new model and potential solution for the cofactor-free in vitro aggregation of tau. Here, we use TADC to further study this process combining multiple amyloid-detecting fluorophores and fibril bioimaging. We confirmed by transmission electron microscopy that this fragment forms fibrils after quiescent incubation at 37 °C. We then employed a panel of eight amyloid-binding fluorophores to query the formed species by acquiring their emission spectra. The results obtained showed that nearly all dyes detect TADC self-assembled species. However, the successful monitoring of TADC aggregation kinetics was limited to three fluorophores (X-34, Bis-ANS, and pFTAA) which yielded sigmoidal curves but different aggregation half-times, hinting to different species being detected. Altogether, this study highlights the potential of using multiple extrinsic fluorescent probes, alone or in combination, as tools to further clarify mechanisms behind the aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins.
