Abstract
► Tau inhibits PrP-induced oligomerization of tubulin. ► Tau does not compete with PrP for binding site on tubulin. ► Tau stabilizes tubulin in a form less susceptible to PrP-induced oligomerization. ► Phosphorylation regulates Tau's ability to inhibit PrP-induced oligomerization. ► Tau phosphorylation may indirectly enhance neurotoxicity of cytosolic PrP.
