Abstract

V originále

Tau protein is an intrinsically disordered protein. Its physiological state is best described as a conformational ensemble (CE) of metastable structures interconverting on the local and molecular scale. The monoclonal antibody DC39C recognizes a linear C-terminal tau epitope, and as the tau interaction partner, its binding parameters report about tau CE. Association kinetics of DC39C binding, together with crosslinking mass spectrometry, show differences in the accessibility of the C terminus in CEs of tau isoforms. Furthermore, removal of the C terminus accelerated the aggregation kinetics of three-repeat tau proteins. Our results suggest a novel mechanism of splicing-driven regulation of the tau C-terminal domain with consequences on the specific roles of tau isoforms in microtubule assembly and pathological aggregation.
