Tau interactome - The human tau interactome: binding to the ribonucleoproteome, and impaired binding of the P301L mutant to chaperones and the proteasome

The tau protein is central to the etiology of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, a subset of frontotemporal dementias, progressive supranuclear palsy and dementia following traumatic brain injury, yet the proteins it interacts with have not been studied using a systematic discovery approach. The study employed mild in vivo crosslinking, isobaric labeling and tandem mass spectrometry to characterize molecular interactions of human tau in a neuroblastoma cell model.
