Phosphorylation at Ser208 might be catalyzed by Casein kinase 1 (44), and its identification as a potential site for O-GlcNacylation (45) points to the important role of this residue. PubMed:28784767

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 (TTBK2) is a Ser/Thr kinase that putatively phosphorylates residues Ser208 and Ser210 (numbered according to a 441-residue human tau isoform) in tau protein. PubMed:17620722
Indeed, Tau phosphorylation at the three positions, Ser202/Thr205/Ser208, while not at Ser262, is sufficient to induce aggregation without the addition of any exogenous aggregation inducer. PubMed:28784767
