Structural Polymorphism of 441-Residue Tau at Single Residue Resolution (2009)

Marco D. Mukrasch, Stefan Bibow, Jegannath Korukottu, Sadasivam Jeganathan, Jacek Biernat, Christian Griesinger, ...

Alzheimer disease is characterized by abnormal protein deposits in the brain, such as extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The tangles are made of a protein called...

Protein Kinase MARK/PAR-1 is Required for Neurite Outgrowth and Establishment of Neuronal Polarity (2002)

Biernat, Jacek, Wu, Yong-Zhong, Timm, Thomas, Zheng-Fischhöfer, Qingyi, Mandelkow, Eckhard, Meijer, Laurent, ...

Protein kinases of the microtubule affinity-regulating kinase (MARK) family were originally discovered because of their ability to phosphorylate certain sites in tau protein (KXGS motifs in the...

The construction and cloning of synthetic genes coding for artificial proteins and expression studies to obtain fusion proteins (1987)

Biernat, Jacek, Hasselmann, Hanne, Hofer, Bernd, Kennedy, Nick, Köster, Hubert

Synthetic genes coding for artificial proteins with predeflned and nutritionally valuable amino acid compositions have been constructed and cloned In bacterial plasmid vector pKK233-2. The genes were...

Expression of synthetic genes coding for completely new, nutritionally rich, artificial proteins (1987)

Biernat, Jacek, Köster, Hubert

Synthetic genes (A, AB and AHB) constructed and cloned into pKK233-2 vector were recloned from the parent plasmid into the new procaryotic expression vectors pGFY221N and pBIO52. Gene AF−B (coding...

The Development of Cell Processes Induced by tau Protein Requires Phosphorylation of Serine 262 and 356 in the Repeat Domain and Is Inhibited by Phosphorylation in the Proline-rich Domains

Biernat, Jacek, Mandelkow, Eva-Maria

The differentiation of neurons and the outgrowth of neurites depends on microtubule-associated proteins such as tau protein. To study this process, we have used the model of Sf9 cells, which allows...

The Endogenous and Cell Cycle-dependent Phosphorylation of tau Protein in Living Cells: Implications for Alzheimer’s Disease

Illenberger, Susanne, Zheng-Fischhöfer, Qingyi, Preuss, Ute, Stamer, Karsten, Baumann, Karlheinz, Trinczek, Bernhard, ...

In Alzheimer’s disease the neuronal microtubule-associated protein tau becomes highly phosphorylated, loses its binding properties, and aggregates into paired helical filaments. There is increasing...

Protein Kinase MARK/PAR-1 Is Required for Neurite Outgrowth and Establishment of Neuronal Polarity

Biernat, Jacek, Wu, Yong-Zhong, Timm, Thomas, Zheng-Fischhöfer, Qingyi, Mandelkow, Eckhard, Meijer, Laurent, ...

MARKK, a Ste20-like kinase, activates the polarity-inducing kinase MARK/PAR-1

Timm, Thomas, Li, Xiao-Yu, Biernat, Jacek, Jiao, Jian, Mandelkow, Eckhard, Vandekerckhove, Joel, ...

MARK, a kinase family related to PAR-1 involved in establishing cell polarity, phosphorylates microtubule-associated proteins (tau/MAP2/MAP4) at KXGS motifs, causes detachment from microtubules, and...

Inhibition of APP Trafficking by Tau Protein Does Not Increase the Generation of Amyloid-β Peptides

Goldsbury, Claire, Mocanu, Maria-Magdalena, Thies, Edda, Kaether, Christoph, Haass, Christian, Keller, Patrick, ...

Amyloid-β, a peptide derived from the precursor protein APP, accumulates in the brain and contributes to the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease. Increased generation of amyloid-β might be caused...

MARK/PAR1 kinase is a regulator of microtubule-dependent transport in axons

Mandelkow, Eva-Maria, Thies, Edda, Trinczek, Bernhard, Biernat, Jacek, Mandelkow, Eckard

Microtubule-dependent transport of vesicles and organelles appears saltatory because particles switch between periods of rest, random Brownian motion, and active transport. The transport can be...

Domains of Neuronal Microtubule-associated Proteins and Flexural Rigidity of Microtubules

Felgner, Harald, Frank, Rainer, Biernat, Jacek, Mandelkow, Eva-Maria, Mandelkow, Eckhard, Ludin, Beat, ...

Microtubules are flexible polymers whose mechanical properties are an important factor in the determination of cell architecture and function. It has been proposed that the two most prominent...
