Abstract excerpt
The proteasome is a multicatalytic complex involved in the degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins. Here we review the clues of a possible involvement of the proteasome in Alzheimer's disease neuropathology. Thus, we discuss the fact that the proteasome modulates the intracellular concentrations of presenilins 1 and 2. These two proteins, when mutated, appear responsible for most of early onset forms of...
