“From these observations we estimate that the phosphorylation of Thr 231, Ser 235, and Ser 262 contributes approximately 26, approximately 9, and approximately 33%, respectively, of the overall inhibition of tau binding to microtubules.”

“In the entire study group, the increase in tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau(181)) was associated with a decline in verbal episodic memory (β = -0.30, p = 0.01) and HipV reduction (β = -0.27, p = 0.02).”
“A significant increase in hyperphosphorylated tau proteins (P-tau) in CSF has been … of primary dementia disorders from AD.2 Recently, we have shown that tau … threonine 231 (P-tau231P) correlates with cognitive decline in subjects with mild cognitive … their accuracy to predict cognitive deterioration within subjects with MCI.”
“Recently, we demonstrated that this unique group of serines and threonines has a critical role in controlling tau toxicity in a Drosophila model of tauopathy.”
