Domains of MAP2 and homology to MAP Tau. (A) Diagram depicting the domains of the four major isoforms of MAP2. Microtubule (MT)-binding repeats are denoted by black rectangles. Note that an additional MT binding repeat (MBR; gray box) is present in the low molecular weight (LMW) isoform MAP2D. Tau is also shown for size comparison. (B) Protein BLAST (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) alignment of the C-terminus (highlighted region of MAP2B in A) from MAP2B (Uniprot P11137-1; top) and 2N4R Tau (P10636-8; bottom). The MT-binding repeat sequences for each protein are indicated with solid boxes. The middle row indicates homologous or similar (+) residues. MAP2B S1782 (mentioned in the text) is highlighted in red. Figure generated in Microsoft Powerpoint.
