Select nitration of residues Tyr18, Tyr29, Tyr197, and Tyr394, events known to stabilize the pathological Alz-50 conformation inhibits the ability of monomeric tau to promote tubulin assembly, effect specific for the 3-NT modification, as mutant tau proteins pseudophosphorylated at each Tyr residue are fully competent to stabilize MTs, suggesting that ONOO(-)-mediated modifications stabilize tau filaments via 3,3'-DT bonding and destabilize MTs by site-selective nitration of tau monomers.
