RNA-binding proteins Musashi and tau soluble aggregates initiate nuclear dysfunction
The Musashi family of RNA binding proteins are found in an oligomeric state in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Here the authors show that Mushashi1 and Musashi2 interact with tau protein in patient tissue and in models of tauopathy.
