Gene Description

MAPT encodes microtubule-associated protein tau, a neuronally enriched, intrinsically disordered microtubule-associated protein. Tau binds tubulin and microtubules through repeat domains, promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and contributes to axonal microtubule organization, axonal transport, neurite/axon development, and neuronal polarity. Tau also associates with neural plasma-membrane and axonal cortex components, and disease-associated phosphorylation or acetylation can alter microtubule and membrane binding. In Alzheimer disease and other tauopathies, modified tau mislocalizes and self-assembles into paired-helical-filament/neurofibrillary-tangle pathology with downstream synaptic, mitochondrial, glial, secretion, and stress-response consequences.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000226 microtubule cytoskeleton organization
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: microtubule cytoskeleton organization is retained as a core biological-process annotation for MAPT; it captures process participation within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0000226 (microtubule cytoskeleton organization), the IBA annotation with qualifier involved_in from GO_REF:0000033 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.
GO:0004857 enzyme inhibitor activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: enzyme inhibitor activity is retained as a non-core molecular-function annotation for MAPT; it records a supported context, interaction, localization, or pathway branch that is secondary to tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0004857 (enzyme inhibitor activity), the IBA annotation with qualifier enables from GO_REF:0000033 supports retaining the annotation, but the term describes a context-specific outcome or peripheral branch rather than the principal MAPT function: tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. Keeping it as non-core prevents broad pathway participation from being promoted to core function.
GO:0008017 microtubule binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: microtubule binding is retained as a core molecular-function annotation for MAPT; it captures activity or binding specificity within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0008017 (microtubule binding), the IBA annotation with qualifier enables from GO_REF:0000033 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.

Reason: For GO:0015630 (microtubule cytoskeleton), the IBA annotation with qualifier is_active_in from GO_REF:0000033 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: axon is retained as a core cellular-component/localization annotation for MAPT; it captures site of action or component context within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0030424 (axon), the IBA annotation with qualifier is_active_in from GO_REF:0000033 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.
GO:0060632 regulation of microtubule-based movement

ACCEPT
Summary: regulation of microtubule-based movement is retained as a core biological-process annotation for MAPT; it captures process participation within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0060632 (regulation of microtubule-based movement), the IBA annotation with qualifier involved_in from GO_REF:0000033 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology.

GO:0140778 microtubule stabilizing activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: microtubule stabilizing activity is retained as a core molecular-function annotation for MAPT; it captures activity or binding specificity within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.

GO:0005576 extracellular region
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
KEEP AS NON CORE

Reason: For GO:0005576 (extracellular region), the IEA annotation with qualifier located_in from GO_REF:0000044 supports retaining the annotation, but the term describes a context-specific outcome or peripheral branch rather than the principal MAPT function: tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. Keeping it as non-core prevents broad pathway participation from being promoted to core function.
GO:0005829 cytosol

This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.
GO:0005856 cytoskeleton
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: cytoskeleton is a correct but bare parent localization for MAPT. The compartment context that matters to the synthesized core biology - tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, and axonal and neuronal projection localization - is already carried by the specific microtubule and tubulin-complex terms, so this parent adds no localization information of its own.
Reason: For GO:0005856 (cytoskeleton), the IEA annotation with qualifier located_in from GO_REF:0000044 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, so the term is not false. It is, however, the bare cytoskeleton parent of terms MAPT already holds from independent evidence, and on its own it names no compartment more precisely than "somewhere in the cytoskeleton". [2026-08 SL project re-review] Uninformative parent from the UniProt subcellular-location pipeline. The sole source for this annotation is GO_REF:0000044 (UniProtKB-SubCell), and the gene already carries strictly more specific term(s) from independent evidence, namely GO:0045298 tubulin complex (IDA) and GO:0005874 microtubule. The term is not false; it is an under-specified location that adds no information over what is already annotated, which is the dominant failure mode of the SL pipeline (see projects/SL.md). Marked over-annotated rather than MODIFY because the more precise term is already present, so there is nothing to replace it with.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: plasma membrane is retained as a core cellular-component/localization annotation for MAPT; it captures site of action or component context within the synthesized core biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0005886 (plasma membrane), the IEA annotation with qualifier located_in from GO_REF:0000044 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology.

Reason: For GO:0008017 (microtubule binding), the IEA annotation with qualifier enables from GO_REF:0000002 is consistent with MAPT's core role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. This action keeps the term because it provides a specific, evidence-backed microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation rather than only a downstream phenotype or generic interaction label.

GO:0030425 dendrite
IEA
GO_REF:0000044

Reason: For GO:0030425 (dendrite), the IEA annotation with qualifier located_in from GO_REF:0000044 supports retaining the annotation, but the term describes a context-specific outcome or peripheral branch rather than the principal MAPT function: tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology.

Summary: protein binding is marked over-annotated for MAPT because this molecular-function term is too generic, interaction-map-like, or weakly informative relative to the gene-specific biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0005515 (protein binding), the IPI annotation with qualifier enables from PMID:33961781 may reflect a real assay result or interaction, but this GO term does not identify the specific microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation that explains MAPT's role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. More informative gene-specific annotations are present, so this is marked over-annotated rather than accepted as a core function.

Summary: protein binding is marked over-annotated for MAPT because this molecular-function term is too generic, interaction-map-like, or weakly informative relative to the gene-specific biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0005515 (protein binding), the IPI annotation with qualifier enables from PMID:23666762 may reflect a real assay result or interaction, but this GO term does not identify the specific microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation that explains MAPT's role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. More informative gene-specific annotations are present, so this is marked over-annotated rather than accepted as a core function.

Summary: phosphatidylinositol binding is retained as a non-core molecular-function annotation for MAPT; it records a supported context, interaction, localization, or pathway branch that is secondary to tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0035091 (phosphatidylinositol binding), the TAS annotation with qualifier enables from PMID:28386764 supports retaining the annotation, but the term describes a context-specific outcome or peripheral branch rather than the principal MAPT function: tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. Keeping it as non-core prevents broad pathway participation from being promoted to core function.

TAS
PMID:28386764
Roles of tau protein in health and disease.
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: sequence-specific DNA binding is marked over-annotated for MAPT because this molecular-function term is too generic, interaction-map-like, or weakly informative relative to the gene-specific biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0043565 (sequence-specific DNA binding), the TAS annotation with qualifier enables from PMID:28386764 may reflect a real assay result or interaction, but this GO term does not identify the specific microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation that explains MAPT's role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. More informative gene-specific annotations are present, so this is marked over-annotated rather than accepted as a core function.

Summary: intracellular distribution of mitochondria is retained as a non-core biological-process annotation for MAPT; it records a supported context, interaction, localization, or pathway branch that is secondary to tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:0048312 (intracellular distribution of mitochondria), the IMP annotation with qualifier involved_in from PMID:21854751 supports retaining the annotation, but the term describes a context-specific outcome or peripheral branch rather than the principal MAPT function: tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. Keeping it as non-core prevents broad pathway participation from being promoted to core function.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: positive regulation of protein localization is marked over-annotated for MAPT because this biological-process term is too generic, interaction-map-like, or weakly informative relative to the gene-specific biology: tau microtubule binding, microtubule assembly/stability, axonal and neuronal projection localization, and phosphorylation-dependent regulation of tau behavior.
Reason: For GO:1903829 (positive regulation of protein localization), the IMP annotation with qualifier involved_in from PMID:27356871 may reflect a real assay result or interaction, but this GO term does not identify the specific microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation that explains MAPT's role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. More informative gene-specific annotations are present, so this is marked over-annotated rather than accepted as a core function.

Reason: For GO:0005515 (protein binding), the IPI annotation with qualifier enables from PMID:23589030 may reflect a real assay result or interaction, but this GO term does not identify the specific microtubule, tubulin-binding, localization, or tau-phosphorylation annotation that explains MAPT's role in tau binding to tubulin and microtubules, regulation of microtubule assembly and stability, axonal localization, and tau phosphorylation-state biology. More informative gene-specific annotations are present, so this is marked over-annotated rather than accepted as a core function.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which tau annotations should be treated as normal neuronal microtubule/axon biology versus pathological tauopathy gain-of-function or mislocalization?

Q: Which kinase-, phosphatase-, chaperone-, lipid-, and APOE-interaction annotations are reproducible endogenous tau functions rather than context-specific or high-throughput interactions?

Q: For Alzheimer-relevant pathway modules, should extracellular tau secretion/spread, synaptic toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and glial activation be curated as MAPT core functions or as downstream disease-context consequences?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use endogenous MAPT isoform and phosphosite editing in human iPSC-derived neurons, followed by live imaging of microtubule dynamics, axonal transport, membrane-cortex association, and somatodendritic tau accumulation under amyloid and kinase-activation stressors.

Hypothesis: Tau phosphorylation state determines the balance between axonal microtubule stabilization, neural membrane-cortex association, and somatodendritic mislocalization.

Type: endogenous phosphosite/isoform perturbation assay

Experiment: Compare wild-type tau with aggregation-defective and microtubule-binding-defective MAPT variants in neuronal cultures, measuring tau filament formation, neurofibrillary-tangle markers, synapse localization/function, mitochondrial transport, and neuron viability.

Hypothesis: Pathological tau self-assembly is separable from normal microtubule-stabilizing activity and drives downstream synaptic and mitochondrial phenotypes.

Type: structure-function tauopathy model
