英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Tau is a microtubule-stabilizing protein that is abundant in neurons. It is a highly soluble, intrinsically disordered
protein (IDP) with little tendency for aggregation under native conditions. However, under several experimental
conditions and in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Tau can spread from
cell to cell and aggregates as intra-cellular β-sheet fibrilar deposits. Our laboratories have critical new data
concerning the temporal, structural and cell biological details of Tau misfolding and fluid-phase assembly—the
basis of this proposal. Our research team consists of a cell biologist, a physical chemist, and a theoretical
biophysicist. Working together closely in an iterative manner we intend to determine the pathway from normal
Tau to disease-related Tau fibrils. The tools for this analysis include (a) cellular systems capable of addressing
in vivo Tau interactions, and indirectly its conformational state based on a variety of molecular probes;; (b) site-
directed spin labeling, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) line shape analysis and pulsed dipolar EPR to
determine conformational signatures of Tau;; and (c) fully atomistic modeling of IDP conformations, their
populations and energetics, and coarse-grained simulation of higher-order assemblies of Tau. The conceptual
flow of the proposal begins with a remarkable observation from the Han lab: When exposed to sub-stoichiometric
amounts of heparin, segments of Tau dramatically extend by a nanometer to solvent-expose the hydrophobic
PHF6(*) segment capable of stacking into neat β-sheets. This observation correlates with the appearance of
fibrils, and thus we refer to this initiating step as “on pathway” seeding. In vivo, Tau is known to populate a vast
conformational landscape controlled by alternative splicing, mutations and post-translational modifications. We
propose that the IDP Tau populates an ensemble of different conformations with different aggregation
propensities, fibril morphologies and interaction partners, depending on the exact Tau variant. However, the
defining and specific conformational signatures within this ensemble are unknown. Determining the
conformational signatures of aggregation-prone Tau variants is our core objective, while a missing puzzle piece
in connecting Tau conformation to cellular interactions is the existence and nature of aggregation intermediates.
In this vein, the Han lab discovered that RNA induces liquid-liquid phase separation of Tau in vitro into protein
droplets held together by weak electrostatic forces. At the in vivo cellular level, the Kosik lab discovered Tau-
tRNA complexes, thereby adding Tau to the growing list of RNA-binding proteins involved in neurodegeneration,
and capable of establishing liquid-liquid phase separation in the cytoplasm. The Tau-tRNA complexes may be a
physiologic or pathological entity—we will obtain clues by determining their loci in neuronal cells. Finally, we
intend to learn whether the conformation of Tau, as modulated by disease mutations or co-factors, influences
the stability and in vivo locality of the Tau-tRNA complexes. Our goal is to discover a detailed route from soluble
Tau to fibrils, from the nanometer to the cellular level, and discover the pathological entities of Tau aggregation.
