Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can be degraded in a ubiquitin-independent process by the 20<i>S</i> proteasome. Decline in 20<i>S</i> activity characterizes neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we examine 20<i>S</i> degradation of IDP tau, a protein that aggregates into insoluble deposits in Alzheimer's disease. We show that cleavage of tau by the 20<i>S</i> proteasome is most efficient within the aggregation-prone repeat region of tau and generates both short, aggregation-deficient pepti ...[more]
