The relation between Aβ pathology and tau pathology is a critical but unresolved issue. We previously observed that neuronal synapses in AD-affected brains showed deposits of hyperphosphorylated and misfolded tau protein. Here we investigated the cause of tau hyperphosphorylation in synapses using APP/PS1 mice and quantitative phosphoproteomics. We found 12 tau phosphosites in mouse synaptosomes, which were identical for APP/PS1 and control mice. Importantly, 6 of these sites (S199, S202, S396, S400, S404, S416) showed statistically significant increase in APP/PS1 mice. The pattern of tau hyperphosphorylation suggested the activation of proline-directed kinases (PDK) by Aβ at synapses. Through global phosphoproteomic analysis, we found 40 synaptic proteins including tau which were hyperphosphorylated, especially by proline-directed kinases and acid-directed kinases. Further motif analysis suggested cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) as the highly activated proline-directed kinase, and casein kinase II (CK2) as the highly activated acid-directed kinase. Our data suggests that CDK5 is an important link between Aβ and tau pathology, and that blocking the activation of CDK5 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for AD.7037155 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間: 2021/8/24論文使用權限: 同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)阿茲海默症斑塊神經纖維糾結過磷酸化AβtauAPP/PS1plaquetanglethesis10.6342/NTU201602446http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/271959/1/ntu-105-R03223207-1.pdf
