The 0N Tau protein also known by its alternate names MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau) and non-N-terminal tau serves important mechanical functions in the stabilization of microtubules within neurons. It does so by binding to and promoting microtubule assembly and maintenance. The mass of the 0N Tau isoform varies because of alternative splicing but it is a critical component of neurofibrillary structures. This protein expression occurs primarily in neurons but can also be found in glial cells of the central nervous system.
Biological function summary
The stabilization function of the 0N Tau isoform influences the cellular cytoskeleton's structural integrity which is necessary for accurate neuronal transport and function. It participates in the microtubule complex which forms the network necessary for intracellular transport and structural support. Stability and dynamics of this network allow efficient transport of nutrients organelles and signaling molecules within the cells playing an important role in maintaining neuronal health and function.
Pathways
The 0N Tau protein is involved in critical pathways like the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. These pathways influence cell survival proliferation and apoptotic processes. Proteins like glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3Β) regulate phosphorylation of tau affecting its binding to microtubules and subsequent cellular dynamics. Additionally hyperphosphorylation of tau by kinases such as CDK5 modifies its function and alters cellular pathways.
The role of 0N Tau becomes significant in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. These disorders are associated with aberrant phosphorylation and aggregation of tau resulting in pathological tau tangles. The relationship of 0N Tau with amyloid-beta peptides also links it to Alzheimer's disease further highlighting its involvement in neurodegeneration. Proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) connect with tau pathology within these diseases contributing to neuronal dysfunction and degeneration.
