TABLE 1. Basic approaches to study aspects of tau biology in S. cerevisiae*

* aspects also applicable to the alternative non-conventional yeast K. lactis (but not yet examined for tau-related functions) are underlined. Approaches without references are either unpublished results from our laboratory or suggestions for future investigations (see text for details).
