项目摘要

Multiple neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are characterized by the accumulation of in the brain. Tau is a heavily modified protein, and SUMMARY. Microtubule-Associated Protein Tau (MAPT) specific to glycosylation, it has been found to be N-glycosylated in AD samples but not in healthy controls. Three N-glycosylation sites were identified in hTau40, but the exact impact of glycosylation on biophysical properties and cellular uptake is poorly understood. In this proposal, we aim to understand how the structure, topology, and location of glycans impact biological functions of Tau. Based on the preliminary data presented in this application, we will pursue the following three aims: In Aim 1, we will study the effects on N-glycosylation together with other modifications modulating the phase behavior of Tau. In Aim 2, we will study synergistic and antagonistic effects of Tau glycosylation and other posttranslational modifications. In Aim 3, we will investigate cellular uptake, toxicity, and stability of Tau glycoproteins in hiPSC-derived neurons. Taken together, this project will address an important knowledge gap regarding the role of glycans and enable the design of novel therapeutic and diagnostic strategies.

包括阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）在内的多种神经退行性疾病的特征是大脑的积累。 tau是一种重大修饰的蛋白质，和概括。微管相关蛋白tau（mapt）特定于糖基化，已发现它在AD样品中是N-糖基化的，而不是在健康对照中。在HTAU40中鉴定出三个N-糖基化位点，但糖基化对生物物理的确切影响特性和细胞摄取知之甚少。在此提案中，我们旨在了解结构如何拓扑和聚糖的位置影响tau的生物学功能。基于在该应用程序，我们将追求以下三个目标：在AIM 1中，我们将研究对N-糖基化的影响与其他修改一起调节tau的相行为。在AIM 2中，我们将研究协同作用和 tau糖基化和其他翻译后修饰的拮抗作用。在AIM 3中，我们将调查 hipsc衍生的神经元中tau糖蛋白的细胞摄取，毒性和稳定性。总之，这个项目将解决有关聚糖作用的重要知识差距，并实现新疗法的设计和诊断策略。
