The ubiquitin-proteasome system and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract excerpt

As in all other mammalian tissues, the UPS (ubiquitin-proteasome system) is fundamental to normal brain function. A consistent feature of the major human neurodegenerative disorders is the accumulation of disease-related proteins, in non-native conformations, as protein aggregates within neurons or glial cells. Often the proteins in these aggregates are post-translationally conjugated with ubiquitin, suggesting a...
