“…Besides, tau is an amphipathic protein in which the charged residues are distributed non‐uniformly and cluster in different domains: a negatively charged N‐terminal region (1–150 aa), the strongly positively charged proline‐rich region (151–243 aa), a mildly positive repeat domain (244–372 aa), and a slightly negative C‐terminal region (373–441 aa) 3,4,24,134 . In recent studies of tau LLPS, experiments were performed at physiological and semi‐physiological conditions, comprising unmodified, post‐translationally modified, and N‐terminally and C‐terminally truncated parts of tau, with cofactors (RNA, heparin, metal ions) forming two different types of condensates termed as simple coacervates and complex coacervates, respectively 39,120–125,127,128 . Both simple and complex condensates have been found to be sensitive to increasing ionic strength, where the addition of 100 mM NaCl can dissolve the tau droplets.…”
