Neuronal tau, through its proline-rich domain and the microtubule binding domain, binds to
RNA nonsequence-specifically via electrostatic interaction. This binding inhibits the activity
of tau. Tau and RNA were also found to co-localize in SH-SY5Y cells suggesting that RNA
has opportunities to interact with tau in cells.
