Tau protein

Tau protein

(Science: cell biology) protein (60-70 kD) that co purifies with tubulin through cycles of assembly and disassembly and the first microtubule associated protein to be characterised. Tau proteins are a family made by alternative splicing of a single gene. It has tandem repeats of a tubulin binding domain and promotes tubulin assembly. Although tau proteins are found in all cells they are major components of neurons where they are predominantly associated with microtubules of the axon.

Problems with gene knockdown

... rat and mouse cDNAs in luciferase assay. The infected cells (in both rat and mouse cell lines) were selected on antibiotic. But when I look at the protein expression in the cells by Western blot, there seem to be no reduction. Of the sequences, at least 3 showed significant knockdown in Luciferase ...

Re: How to find motif frequencies

I dont have enough experience to give lab advices..but you could use hydropathy plot for determing hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of protein thus predicting its conformation
