a(GO:lysosome) increases deg(a(HBP:HBP00053)) View Subject | View Object

In agreement with our previous observations (Wang et al., 2009), we found that lysosomes contribute to degradation of WT tau (reflected as an increase in tau levels upon blockage of lysosomal proteolysis with inhibitors) PubMed:29024336

bp(GO:"chaperone-mediated autophagy") increases deg(a(HBP:HBP00053)) View Subject | View Object

This lysosomal degradation occurred, in large part, through CMA, as genetic blockage of this pathway almost completely abolished lysosomal degradation of WT tau and led to its accumulation (Fig. 1a,b; GAPDH is shown as an example of a well-characterized CMA substrate (Aniento et al., 1993) known to accumulate intracellularly upon blockage of CMA (Schneider et al., 2014)) PubMed:29024336

bp(GO:"chaperone-mediated autophagy") increases deg(a(HBP:HBP00053)) View Subject | View Object

Consistent with our previous findings (Wang et al., 2009), WT tau is a very efficient CMA substrate, to the point that binding is almost undetectable because the protein is rapidly internalized (Fig. 1c,d) PubMed:29024336

bp(GO:"late endosomal microautophagy") increases deg(a(HBP:HBP00053)) View Subject | View Object

Contrary to WT tau, which accumulates in e- MI-defective cells, intracellular levels of A152T and P301L tau did not change in cells knocked down for Vps4, suggesting that both point mutations in tau compromise its ability to undergo degradation by this pathway (Fig. 2a,b) PubMed:29024336
