Our finding that the resulting Tau species with phosphorylation at Ser202/Th205, but with a disrupted turn-like structure, forms abundant fibers detectable by thioflavin fluorescence or electron microscopy (Figs. 2 and 4) suggests the initial turn-like structure induced by the phosphorylation of only Ser202 and Thr205 is protective against aggregation.

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

When combined with ERK2 catalyzed phosphorylation, the turn-like disrupting G207V mutation in TauF8 hence leads to fast aggregation that already occurs during the phosphorylation reaction. PubMed:28784767
