Abstract excerpt
The significance of intracellular beta-amyloid (Abeta(42)) accumulation is increasingly recognized in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Abeta removal mechanisms that have attracted attention include IDE/neprilysin degradation and antibody-mediated uptake by immune cells. However, the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in the disposal of cellular Abeta has not been fully explored. The E3 ubiquitin...
