Proposed model of Tau conformation in live cells. In physiological conditions Tau binds MTs through the MTBD (yellow box) and displays a close conformation with the N and C terminus in close vicinity. The Tau molecules free in the cytosol adopt a more relaxed conformation indicating, in a cellular context, that polymerized MTs generate conformational changes of Tau.
