Abstract
Neuronal tau, through its proline-rich domain and the microtubule binding domain, binds to RNA nonsequence- specifically via electrostatic interaction. This binding inhibits the activity of tau. Tau and RNA were also found to co-localize in SH-SY5Y cells suggesting that RNA has opportunities to interact with tau in cells.
Keywords: Neuronal tau, RNA, non-sequence-specific RNA-binding, electrostatic interaction, proline rich domain, microtubule binding domain
