Several publications suggest that molecular chaperones, e.g., heat shock protein 70 and 90 (Hsp70, Hsp90) play a fundamental role in the clearance of misfolded proteins including tau [12]. PubMed:25374103
Misfolded tau proteins, like other natively unfolded molecules, can be detected and cleared by chaperone assisted mechanisms [13]. PubMed:25374103
In the pathological case of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) tau becomes hyperphosphorylated, detaches from the microtubules, misfolds, and mislocalizes to the somatodendritic compartment where it aggregates into neurofibrillary tangles. PubMed:25374103

Altogether, these data suggest that only certain pathogenic forms of tau (MC1, Y18) promote Syk activation, whereas Syk activation appears to directly in- duce tau phosphorylation at Y18 and to indirectly regulate tau phosphorylation at multiple epitopes (S396/404, S202) as well as tau misfolding (MC1, TOC1).

We found an increase in Syk activation in DNs surrounding A β deposits as well as in neurons displaying an accumu- lation of phosphorylated Tau at Y18 and elevated levels of MC1 pathogenic tau conformers in AD brain sections whereas only weak immunoreactivity for pSyk was ob- served in brain sections from a non-demented control (Figs. 15, 16 and 17).
