VCP regulates early tau seed amplification via specific cofactors by Sushobhna Batra, Jaime Vaquer-Alicea, Clarissa Valdez, Skyler P. Taylor, Victor A. Manon, Anthony R. Vega, Omar M. Kashmer, Sourav Kolay, Andrew Lemoff, Nigel J. Cairns, Charles L. White, Marc I. Diamond

“…We fused split-APEX2 to the C-terminus of tau repeat domain (RD) to reconstitute peroxidase activity 5 h after seeded intracellular tau aggregation. Valosin containing protein (VCP/p97) was the top hit. VCP harbors dominant mutations that underlie two neurodegenerative diseases, multisystem proteinopathy and vacuolar tauopathy, but its mechanistic role is unclear. …”
