GSK3Beta may directly bind to tau within a GSK3Beta-tau complex.To identify the GSK3Beta-binding region within tau, we constructed three tau deletion mutants: R-tau-(1–244) containing the N-terminal projection domain, R-tau-(245–369) containing the microtubule-binding region, and R-tau-(245–441) containing both the microtubule-binding region and the C-terminal tail. We evaluated the binding of these mutants and wild-type R-tau with GST-GSK3Beta by the GST pull-down assay. GSK3Beta bound to wild type (Fig. 5B) and R-tau-(1–244) (Fig. 5C) but not R-tau-(245–369) (Fig. 5D) and R-tau-(245–441) (Fig.5E). These data demonstrate that GSK3Beta binds to the Nterminal projection domain of tau.
