IntroductionTau phosphorylation at T217 is a promising AD biomarker, but its functional consequences were unknown. MethodsHuman brain and cultured mouse neurons were analyzed by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence for total tau, taupT217, taupT181, taupT231 and taupS396/pS404. dSTORM super resolution microscopy was used to localize taupT217 in cultured neurons. EGFP-tau was expressed in fibroblasts as wild type and T217E pseudo-phosphorylated tau, and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) reported tau turnover rates on microtubules. ResultsIn brain, taupT217 appears in neurons at Braak stages I-II, becomes more prevalent later and co-localizes partially with other phospho-tau epitopes. In cultured neurons taupT217, is increased by extracellular tau oligomers (xcTauOs), and is associated with developing post-synaptic sites. FRAP recovery was fastest for EGFP-tauT217E. ConclusionTaupT217 increases in brain as AD progresses and is induced by xcTauOs. Post-synaptic taupT217 suggests a role for T217 phosphorylation in synapse impairment. T217 phosphorylation reduces taus affinity for microtubules.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
