Tau is the major component of the neurofibrillar tangles that are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimers' disease. The identification of missense and splicing mutations in tau associated with the… (More)
Frontal temporal dementia and Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is caused by splice site and missense mutations in the tau gene, and characterized by the accumulation of filamentous tau… (More)
Linkage of alpha-synuclein (alpha-SN) mutations to familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and presence of alpha-SN as a major constituent of Lewy body in both sporadic and familial PD implicate alpha-SN… (More)
Intraneuronal deposition of microtubule-associated protein tau in filamentous aggregates constitutes a pathological hallmark of neurofibrillary degeneration that is characteristic of Alzheimer's… (More)
Frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is a group of related disorders frequently characterized by the formation of tau inclusions in neurons and glial cells. To… (More)
Conditional expression systems for 4-repeat wild-type (WT) tau or the corresponding mutants V337M and R406W were established in human neuroglioma H4 cells to study the effect of tau mutations on the… (More)
The large (L) protein of Sendai virus complexes with the phosphoprotein (P) to form the active RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The L protein is believed to be responsible for all of the catalytic… (More)
