Species: Macaca mulatta (Rhesus macaque)
products description :
Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.

uniprot summary :
Function: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. Subunit structure: Interacts with SQSTM1 when polyubiquitinated. Interacts with PSMC2 through SQSTM1 . By similarity. Interacts with FKBP4. Binds to CSNK1D . By similarity. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm cytosol. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm cytoskeleton. Cell projection axon. Note: Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. Tissue specificity: Expressed in neurons. Domain: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. Type I isoforms contain 3 repeats while type II isoforms contain 4 repeats. Post-translational modification: Polyubiquitinated. Requires functional TRAF6 and may provoke SQSTM1-dependent degradation by the proteasome . By similarity.Phosphorylation at various serine and threonine residues in S-P or T-P motifs by proline-directed protein kinases (PDPK1: CDK1, CDK5, GSK3, MAPK) (a few sites per protein in interphase, more in mitosis), and at serine residues in K-X-G-S motifs by MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase (MARK1 or MARK2), causing detachment from microtubules, and their disassembly. Phosphorylation at Ser-280 by BRSK1 and BRSK2 in neurons affects ability to bind microtubules and plays a role in neuron polarization. Phosphorylated by PHK . By similarity. Sequence similarities: Contains 4 Tau/MAP repeats.
