Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic systems and the aggresome pathway contribute to preventing accumulation of cytotoxic aggregation-prone proteins. Although polyubiquitylation is usually required for degradation or aggresome formation, several substrates are processed independently of ubiquitin through a poorly understood mechanism. Here, we found that p62/SQSTM1, a multifunctional adaptor protein, was involved in the selective...
