In parallel, phosphorylation of tau at Ser262 in MARK-transfected cells was investigated using a rabbit antibody recognizing phosphorylated Ser262 of tau (AGG5759) and a mouse anti-tau antibody (SC-21796) (Fig. S1a3). Tau was shown to interact with each of the transfected MARK isoforms (Fig. 1) and to be phosphorylated at Ser262 (Fig. 2). Staurosporine, a non-selective kinase inhibitor, significantly inhibited interactions between tau and each of the four MARK isoforms after treatment with 20 lM staurosporine for 1 h (Fig. 1; p = 0.02 for MARK1–, MARK2– and MARK3–tau interactions and p = 3 9 10-6 for MARK4–tau interaction). Treatment with staurosporine also significantly reduced PLA signals for tau phosphorylation at Ser262 (Fig. 2; p = 0.04 for MARK1- and p = 0.02 for MARK2- and MARK3- and p = 1 9 10-5 for MARK4-mediated tau phosphorylation) PubMed:23666762

To probe the involvement of endogenous MARK kinases in mediating the synaptic toxicity of Aβ, we employed a peptide inhibitor capable of effectively and specifically inhibiting the activities of all PAR-1/MARK family members. This inhibitor abrogated the toxic effects of Aβ oligomers on dendritic spines and synapses as assayed at the morphological and electrophysiological levels. PubMed:22156579

We first confirmed that expression of an MKI-GFP fusion protein in rat hippocampal neurons effectively attenuated MARK4-mediated phosphorylation of both endogenous tau (Fig. 3A) and transfected human tau at the 12E8 sites (Fig. 3B). Phosphorylation of tau at the PHF-1 site was also reduced by MKI (Fig. 3A). It is possible that the PHF-1 site is also targeted by PAR-1/MARKs in vivo, or that the phosphorylation of tau at the 12E8 sites is a prerequisite for PHF-1 site phosphorylation, as the 12E8 sites were previously shown to be required for tau phosphorylation at other sites PubMed:22156579
