Structural exposure of different microtubule binding domains determines the propagation and toxicity of pathogenic tau conformers in Alzheimer's disease. by Lenka Hromadkova, Chae Kim, Tracy Haldiman, Mohammad Khursheed Siddiqi, Krystyna Surewicz, Kiley Urquhart, Dur-E-Nayab Sadruddin, Lihua Peng, Xiongwei Zhu, Witold K Surewicz, Mark L Cohen, Mark R Chance, Rohan de Silva, Janna Kiselar, Jiri G Safar

“…In contrast, the major driver of calcium influx induced in neurons by the accumulation of misfolded tau was the structural exposure of the R1 domain. The data provide compelling evidence for a major diversity in the structural organization of MTBDs of misfolded AD brain-derived tau protein and implicate the structural exposure of distinct domains in different pathogenetic steps of AD - R4 tau domain in progression rate, and R1 domain in variable synaptic toxicity of misfolded tau, and thus in cognitive decline.…”
