Evidences bp(GO:"late endosomal microautophagy") to p(MGI:Mapt)

In this study, we analyzed the contribution of three different types of autophagy, macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy, and endosomal microautophagy to the degradation of tau protein variants and tau mutations associated with this agerelated disease. We have found that the pathogenic P301L mutation inhibits degradation of tau by any of the three autophagic pathways, whereas the risk-associated tau mutation A152T reroutes tau for degradation through a different autophagy pathway

Interestingly, although judging by the studies in intact cells the contribution of e-MI to tau degradation is small (Fig. 2a), our in vitro studies with isolated LE revealed a high efficiency for e-MI of tau (Fig. 2c)

In the presence of any of the tau proteins, we found some sequestration of the probe in the multivesicular bodies, albeit significantly less in cells expressing the WT and A152T protein
