Proapoptotic Effects of Tau Cleavage Product Generated by Caspase-3

Using an in vitro translation assay to screen a human brain cDNA library, we isolated the microtubule-associated protein Tau and determined it to be a caspase-3 substrate whose C-terminal cleavage occurred during neuronal apoptosis. ΔTau, the 50-kDa cleavage product, was detected by Western blot in...
