Tau Modifications Sections of NESTOR

Tau is rapidly glycated in the presence of D-ribose, resulting in oligomerization and polymerization with Glycated derivatives appearing after 24 h. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) were formed during initial stages of glycation. Thioflavin T-positive (ThT-positive) aggregations (day 4) indicated the globular-like features. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the surface morphology of ribosylated Tau40 was globular-like. PubMed:19517062

Non-enzymatic post-translational modifications, including glycation, deamidation and isomerization, are detected in PHF-tau but not in normal tau. All of these modifications may facilitate tau aggregation PubMed:26631930

In addition, glycation of tau may reduce the binding of tau to microtubules PubMed:26631930
