To gain insight into the abnormal phosphorylation of PHF-tau, we have determined the phosphorylation sites by identifying phosphopeptides by means of ion spray mass spectrometry followed by sequencing of ethane-thiol-modified peptides. Nineteen sites have been identified; all but Ser-262 are localized to the amino- and carboxyl-terminal flanking regions of the microtubule-binding domain. Eleven sites correspond to fetal type sites. Unexpectedly, 10 are non-proline-directed, whereas the others are proline-directed. Thus, the abnormal phosphorylation of PHF-tau can be considered to consist of fetal type phosphorylation and additional proline-directed and non-proline-directed phosphorylation. This non-fetal type phosphorylation may provide PHF-tau with the unusual characteristics.
