Abstract excerpt
Aggresome formation in cells involves the failure of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to dispose of proteins destined for degradation by the 26S proteasome. UBB(+1) is present in Mallory bodies in alcoholic liver disease and in aggresomes formed in Alzheimer's desease. The present investigation focuses on the role that UBB(+1) plays in cytokeratin aggresome formation in Mallory bodies (MBs) in vitro....
