Background | Brain-specific tau isoforms vary in the number of N-terminal inserts and C-terminal repeat domains due to alternative splicing of exons; the 2N4R isoform of tau is expressed in the adult brain yet is absent from the fetal brain. Tau and alpha-synuclein polymerize into amyloid fibrils to form filamentous inclusions in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Tau has been shown to interact with alpha-synuclein in vitro, with synergistic cross-seeding between tau and alpha-synuclein resulting in the polymerization of each other into fibrillary amyloid lesions in neuronal cultures and in vivo. Recombinant tau and alpha-synuclein co-polymer fibrils have demonstrated a more widespread transmission of induced pathology in a rodent model of tauopathies compared to pure Tau or alpha-synuclein fibrils alone. These co-polymer fibrils have also shown enhanced alpha-synuclein aggregation in vitro, and more severe alpha-synuclein pathology and Parkinson’s disease-like symptoms in mice. |
