FYN expression is increased in brains from patients with AD, specifically in a subset of neurons with elevated hyperphosphorylated tau protein (Shirazi and Wood, 1993), but it is not known whether this increase in FYN contributes to hyperphosphorylation of tau or is a protective response to it. In extracts of human brains from patients with AD, soluble FYN increases with cognitive score and synaptophysin levels and inversely with the tangle count, suggestive of a pro-cognitive role for FYN (Ho et al., 2005).

FYN physically interacts with and phosphorylates tau protein, and the affinity of this physical interaction is enhanced in AD-associated mutations in tau protein (Bhaskar et al., 2005). Abeta rapidly induces tyrosine phosphorylation of many proteins (including tau protein) in human and cultured rat cortical neurons (Williamson et al., 2002). This phosphorylation is concomitant with phosphorylation and inactivation of focal adhesion kinase 1 (FADK1, a major downstream target of FYN), is blocked by inhibitors of SRC kinases and PI3K, and involves FYN associating physically with FADK1 (Williamson et al., 2002).

In neuroblastoma cells, as well as cultured hippocampal neurons, Abeta activates JNK and ERK, and blocking these prevents Abeta hyperphosphorylating tau protein, as does alpha7 antisense oligonucleotides or alpha7 antagonists, suggesting that Abeta may trigger tau protein phosphorylation through ERK and JNK via alpha7 receptors (Wang et al., 2003b). Abeta leads to phosphorylation of AKT in cultured mouse neurons through a mechanism that requires alpha7 nAChRs (Abbott et al., 2008), AKT phosphorylation levels returning to baseline upon prolonged application of Abeta.

In addition, subunits of protein phosphatase PP1 (Unigene-NCBI annotation PPP1CA and PPP1CC) mRNAs were downregulated in CBF neurons in AD [135].

A final point of interest relates to potential upstream modifications of tau. Endogenous tau is phosphorylated, and in AD, tau phosphorylation becomes dysregulated. This may interfere with subsequent processes including cleavage and degradation. For example, tau that is in the cis-conformation at T231 appears resistant to degradation, as cis-tau is found in dystrophic neurites while trans-tau is not. Additionally cis-tau partitions to the insoluble fraction (30). Phosphorylation at T231 prevents the isomerase Pin1 from converting cis-tau to trans-tau (30). PubMed:24027553

In cells that were co-transfected with fixed amounts of FLAG-tau and HA-GSK3Beta but different amounts of Xpress-14-3-3zeta, FLAG-tau phosphorylation increased progressively with the increase in the amount of Xpress-14-3-3zeta (lanes 7–9). This increase was evident not only by an increased immunoreactivity against all tau phosphorylation-sensitive antibodies tested but also by a retarded mobility of FLAG-tau on the SDS gel, a characteristic feature of hyperphosphorylated tau (2, 3). Thus, 14-3-3zeta profoundly stimulated GSK3Beta-catalyzed tau phosphorylation in vivo. PubMed:12551948

These data indicated that phosphorylation of PP2A dephosphorylation sites is an important recognition signal for ubiquitination. We used 200 μg of amino-terminal His-tagged full-length recombinant human tau in an in vitro phosphorylation reaction with GSK-3Beta. When phosphorylated, the tau protein reacted on immunoblots with PHF1 (25, 26) and AT8 (24), indicating that at least sites Ser202, Thr205, Ser396, and Ser404 were phosphorylated. Following GSK-3Beta incubation, this tau served as an excellent substrate for in vitro ubiquitination using UbcH5B and the cofactor fraction from AD tau immunoprecipitates (Fig. 2a). This finding suggested that GSK-3Beta can place phosphates on tau that create recognition sites for an E3 Ub ligase. PubMed:14612456

We here confirmed the interaction of SlOOb with tau through affinity chromatography and crosslinking and demonstrated that such an interaction also inhibited mode I phosphorylation by a Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase. Increasing Ca2+c oncentration to the 100 μM range potentiated the SlOOb effect. Therefore, although Ca2+-independent interactions may occur between SlOOb and protein tau, it is the Ca2+ form of SlOOb that has significant affinity for protein tau. In any case, Znz+ and Ca2+ both appear to be capabble of inducing a conformation in SlOOb that promotes its binding to target proteinins, including tau. PubMed:2833519

We have used a knock-out/knock-in strategy in Drosophila to generate a strain with hTau inserted into the endogenous fly tau locus and expressed under the control of the endogenous fly tau promoter, thus avoiding potential toxicity due to genetic over-expression. hTau knock-in (KI) proteins were expressed at normal, endogenous levels, bound to fly microtubules and were post-translationally modified, hence displaying physiological properties. We used this new model to investigate the effects of acetylation on hTau toxicity in vivo. The simultaneous pseudo-acetylation of hTau at lysines 163, 280, 281 and 369 drastically decreased hTau phosphorylation and significantly reduced its binding to microtubules in vivo. These molecular alterations were associated with ameliorated amyloid beta toxicity. Our results indicate acetylation of hTau on multiple sites regulates its biology and ameliorates amyloid beta toxicity in vivo. PubMed:28855586

These data indicated that phosphorylation of PP2A dephosphorylation sites is an important recognition signal for ubiquitination. We used 200 μg of amino-terminal His-tagged full-length recombinant human tau in an in vitro phosphorylation reaction with GSK-3Beta. When phosphorylated, the tau protein reacted on immunoblots with PHF1 (25, 26) and AT8 (24), indicating that at least sites Ser202, Thr205, Ser396, and Ser404 were phosphorylated. Following GSK-3Beta incubation, this tau served as an excellent substrate for in vitro ubiquitination using UbcH5B and the cofactor fraction from AD tau immunoprecipitates (Fig. 2a). This finding suggested that GSK-3Beta can place phosphates on tau that create recognition sites for an E3 Ub ligase. PubMed:14612456

Furthermore, the enhanced SUMO-immunoreactivity, costained with the hyperphosphorylated tau, is detected in cerebral cortex of the AD brains, and β-amyloid exposure of rat primary hippocampal neurons induces a dose-dependent SUMOylation of the hyperphosphorylated tau. Our findings suggest that tau SUMOylation reciprocally stimulates its phosphorylation and inhibits the ubiquitination-mediated tau degradation, which provides a new insight into the AD-like tau accumulation.
