Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated τ precedes the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease
Christian Bancher,C. Brunner,Hans Lassmann,Herbert Budka,Kurt A. Jellinger,Gerhard Wiche,F. Seitelberger,I. Grundke-Iqbal,Khalid Iqbal,H. M. Wisniewski +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated tau is one of the earliest cytoskeletal changes in the process of tangle formation and exposure of certain ubiquitin epitopes in the pathological fibers may reflect an unsuccessful attempt of proteolytic degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubule-associated protein tau. Abnormal phosphorylation of a non-paired helical filament pool in Alzheimer disease.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the abnormal phosphorylation of tau in AD occurs in the cytosol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-translational modifications of tau protein in Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: Analysis of the current advances in tau modifications suggest that intervention addressing these abnormalities may offer promising therapeutic opportunities to prevent and treat neurofibrillary degeneration of AD and other tauopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal phosphorylation of tau precedes ubiquitination in neurofibrillary pathology of Alzheimer disease
Christian Bancher,I. Grundke-Iqbal,Khalid Iqbal,Victor A. Fried,Harry T. Smith,H. M. Wisniewski +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that abnormal phosphorylation of tau occurs prior to its incorporation into PHF and leads to its accumulation in the nerve cell body and that ubiquitin is seen associated only when a neurofibrillary tangle is already formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles originate from neurotubules
TL;DR: Results indicate that neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease probably originate from neurotubules, which is closer to the truth than previously thought.
