| Scientific Background |
Tau-441, the longest isoform of the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), contains two N-terminal inserts and four microtubule-binding repeats (2N4R), playing a critical role in stabilizing neuronal microtubules and maintaining axonal transport. The P301S mutation, a proline-to-serine substitution at residue 301, is linked to familial tauopathies and significantly enhances tau’s aggregation propensity. Pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) generated from Tau-441 P301S mutant proteins replicate the structural and pathological features of tau aggregates found in neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. These fibrils act as potent seeds, inducing the misfolding and aggregation of endogenous tau in a prion-like manner. This seeding mechanism drives the spread of tau pathology across neural circuits, leading to synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and progressive neuronal loss. Experimental models employing P301S mutant PFFs have demonstrated their ability to initiate early tau pathology, including the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau-positive inclusions. These models are instrumental in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of tau propagation and identifying therapeutic targets. Tau-441 P301S mutant PFFs are essential tools for studying the dynamics of tau aggregation and its role in neurodegeneration. Their use in preclinical research accelerates the development of disease-modifying therapies aimed at halting tau spread, enhancing clearance, and restoring neuronal function in tauopathies. |

Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that binds to beta-sheet rich structures, such as those in tau fibrils. When ATTO488-conjugated tau fibrils are combined with tau monomers, they show increased seeding compared to unconjugated tau fibrils combined with tau monomers.
