| Description | Tubulin-related unit (tau) residues 260-267. This region represents the death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) binding domain in the tau microtubule repeat domain (R). DAPK1 phosphorylates tau on ser262 in ischemic brain injury. The peptide can block the interaction between DAPK1 and tau and reduce the level of phosphorylation of ser262, so it may have therapeutic benefits. Tau is a phosphoprotein involved in the assembly and stability of microtubules (MT) and brain development. Tau is phosphorylated by a variety of protein kinases at multiple sites, including cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and type 1 casein kinase. Tau phosphorylation causes tau to change shape, thereby negatively modulating its ability to stimulate MT assembly. The malfunctioning tau protein contributes to the structural core of the paired helical filaments (PHF) that make up the neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). NFT is usually observed in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and other diseases |
