    Abstract Tau aggregation is governed by secondary processes, a major pathological pathway for tau protein fibril propagation, yet its molecular mechanism remains unknown. This work uses saturation transfer and lifetime line-broadening experiments to identify the critical residues involved in these secondary processes. Distinct residue-specific NMR relaxation parameters were obtained for the truncated three repeat tau construct (K19) in equilibrium with structurally different, self-aggregated (saK19) or heparin-induced (hK19) fibrils. The interacting residues are restricted to R3 repeat for hK19 and to R3, R4, and R' repeats for saK19 fibrils. Furthermore, the relaxation profiles of tau monomers in equilibrium with the structurally comparable, in vitro pathological fibrils (tauAD and tauCTE) were similar but distinct from hK19 or saK19 fibrils. Thus, residue-specific relaxation identifies the important residues involved in the binding of monomers to the fibrils. The relaxation profile of the monomers in equilibrium with the NMR invisible fibril seeds potentially distinguishes the distinct structures of tau fibrils.

    Abstract Despite decades of research, mechanisms by which co-transcriptional alternative splicing events are targeted to the correct genomic locations to drive cell fate decisions remain unknown. By combining structural and molecular approaches, we define a new mechanism by which an essential transcription factor (TF) targets co-transcriptional splicing through physical and functional interaction with RNA and RNA binding proteins (RBPs). We show that an essential TF co-transcriptionally regulates sex-specific alternative splicing by directly interacting with a subset of target RNAs on chromatin and modulating the dynamics of hnRNPA2 homolog nuclear splicing condensates.
