General description

Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein found predominantly on axons and functions to promote tubulin polymerization and stabilize microtubules. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF), the building block of neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) brain. Hyperphosphorylated Tau is also found in neurofibrillary lesions in a range of other central nervous system disorders. Hyperphosphorylation impairs the microtubule binding function of Tau, resulting in the destabilization of microtubules in AD brains, ultimately leading to the degeneration of the affected neurons. Numerous serine/threonine kinases, including GSK-3beta, protein kinase A (PKA), cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) and casein kinase II (CK2), phosphorylate Tau. Phosphorylation of serine 199 is catalyzed by GSK-3- in vitro, and has been linked to frontotemporal dementia.

Specificity

Tau phosphoSerine 199. The antibody recognizes Tau pSerine 199 in samples of recombinant human Tau treated with GSK-3beta for 45 minutes. The reactivity of the antibody is blocked with the pSerine 199 peptide but not the non-phosphopeptide or a generic phosphoSerine-containing peptide.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide of amino acids surrounding the phosphoSerine 199 site of human Tau.

Application

Anti-Tau phospho Serine 199 Antibody is an antibody against Tau phospho Serine 199 for use in WB.

Western blot: 1:1,000. Suggested blocking buffer is 5% BSA-TBST for one hour at room temperature. Suggested antibody dilution buffer is 3% BSA-TBST. Suggested antibody incubation time is 2 hours at room temperature.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Do not store in a self defrosting freezer.

Although the importance of the microtubule network throughout cell life is well established, the dynamics of microtubules during apoptosis, a regulated cell death process, is unclear. In a previous study (Davis, P. K., and Johnson, G. V. (1999) Biochem. J.

When trying to elucidate the role played by tau protein kinase I/glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (TPKI/GSK-3beta) in tau phosphorylation, it is important to consider the balance that exists between the various kinases and phosphatases that are involved in vivo. We studied

Recently, we reported that a pool of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is associated with microtubules. Here, we demonstrate that specific isoforms of PP2A bind and dephosphorylate the neuronal microtubule-associated protein tau. Coexpression of tau and SV40 small t, a specific
