Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of the proteasomal pathway for degrading abnormal proteins leads to protein aggregation, increased oxidative damage and increased protein nitration. We now show that interference with polyubiquitination has similar consequences. Expression of a dominant-negative mutant form of ubiquitin (K48R) in NT-2 and SK-N-MC cells caused decreased cell growth rates and increased oxidative damage (protein carbonyls...
