Evidence f131d479f2

Taken together, pathological hyperphosphorylated tau caused cell death, and Hsp27 attenuated the cell toxicity of pathological hyperphosphorylated tau.

Evidence 4741e02229

Here we show that heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) preferentially binds pathological hyperphosphorylated tau and paired helical filaments tau directly but not non-phosphorylated tau. The formation of this complex altered the conformation of pathological hyperphosphorylated tau and reduced its concentration by facilitating its degradation and dephosphorylation.
