Schematic representation of a possible scenario by which Aβ can mediate tau accumulation via the pro-teasome. During normal conditions, ubiquitinated tau is targeted to the proteasome for turnover (A). Aβ deposit can inhibit the proteasome impairing its normal function. As a consequence, tau cannot be degraded by the pro-teasome and accumulates into NFT (B).
