The Alzheimer-like state of tau protein includes phosphorylation by a proline-directed Ser/Thr kinase present in normal or pathological human brain. Extending earlier results on MAP kinase, we show here that the proline-directed kinase, GSK3, can induce an Alzheimer-like immune response involving several distinct and phosphorylatable epitopes at Ser-Pro motifs, as well as a gel mobility shift, similar to MAP kinase. Both kinases behave like microtubule-associated proteins in that they co-purify through cycles of assembly and disassembly, and both kinases are directly associated with paired helical filaments.

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
