| Abstract: | Accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau is a key pathological finding of Alzheimer's disease. Recently, acetylation of tau is emerging as another key pathogenic modification, especially regarding the acetylation of tau at K280 of the hexapeptide 275VQIINK280, a critical sequence in driving tau aggregation. However, the relationship between these two key post-translational modifications is not well known. In this study, effect of acetylation of tau at K280 on tau phosphorylation profile was investigated. The human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, was transfected with p300 acetyltransferase and tau to induce acetylation of tau. Phosphorylation profile after acetylation was evaluated on western blot. K280A-mutant tau was transfected to investigate the effect of acetylation of tau at K280 on tau phosphorylation profile. Overexpression of p300 acetyltransferase in tau-transfected SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells increased acetylation of tau. Meanwhile, tau and its phosphorylation also increased at various sites such as S199/202, S202/T205, T231, and S422, but not at S396. However, blocking acetylation only at K280 with K280A-mutant tau reversed the increased phosphorylation of tau at S202/T205, T231, and S422, but not at S199/202 or S396. Here we identified tau phosphorylation profile in the context of p300-induced acetylation and K280A-mutant tau, demonstrating that tau acetylation affects phosphorylation differently by residues and that acetylation at K280 is a determinant of phosphorylation at some residues in the context of pathologic acetyltransferase activity. Yet, our results suggest there is a complex interplay yet to be explored between tau acetylation with tau phosphorylation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
